Turn off the makeup water and electrical service to the boiler. Isolate any and all valves in the system. Thread the old tank off, thread tape and/ or thread sealant on male ends of new tank and thread it in. Bleed air from system as needed using makeup water. Dependent on the piping arangement, if the tank screws in the bottom of an air scoop, an air eliminator atop the scoop may be removed and then replaced after all air is purged. Note: in using makeup water valve/ bypass, do not go over 30# of pressure. Most residential boilers will have a safety relief valve that is set at 30# that will blow off at this pressure and make a mess. The makeup water pressure reducing valves are generaly set to maintain 12# of pressure. Most pressure tanks are precharged at the same 12# of pressure on the air side. Verify these pressures and that all air has been purged from the boiler and pumps, before refiring the boiler. lc

Is the boiler expansion tank full of water?
The boiler expansion tank should not be full of water. It should have a mix of water and air to allow for expansion and contraction of the water in the system. If the tank is full of water, it may indicate a problem with the tank or the system.
What is the function of a cold feed and expansion pipe?
Cold feed is cold water that supplies boiler water for heating system. Expansion tank relieves excess pressure buildup in heating system.The Cold feed should enter the supply line rather then the return as not to thermo shock a boiler and the expansion tank is to protect the system from excessive pressureAs water is heated it expands causing higher pressures the tank acts an asorber for this expansion
Why does gas boiler keep cutting out?
i am no expert - but the reason my boiler cuts out is a fall in the system pressure due to a leaking membrane in the expansion tank. I have to keep the pressure up by adding new water to the system. Bill
Why is Expansion tank on boiler is leaking at the air release valve?
It is possible that the expansion tank on a boiler could have too much water and not enough air, causing leaking. To fix this problem, the tank should be adjusted to the right levels of each.
How do you replace the coolant overflow tank?

Is the expansion tank leaking in your system causing any issues?
Is the expansion tank in your system leaking and causing problems?
Why is my boiler leaking water from the overflow pipe?
Your boiler may be leaking water from the overflow pipe due to high pressure in the system, a faulty pressure relief valve, or a problem with the expansion tank. It is important to have a professional inspect and repair the issue to prevent further damage to your boiler.
What does an expansion tank do in a heating system?
An expansion tank in a heating system helps to accommodate the expansion of water as it heats up, preventing pressure buildup and potential damage to the system.
What is the purpose of a water expansion tank in a plumbing system?
The purpose of a water expansion tank in a plumbing system is to accommodate the expansion of water when it is heated, preventing pressure buildup and potential damage to the system.
What is the purpose of an expansion tank in a water heater system?
The purpose of an expansion tank in a water heater system is to accommodate the expansion of water when it is heated, preventing pressure buildup and potential damage to the system.
What is the purpose of the expansion tank valve in a heating system?
The expansion tank valve in a heating system is used to regulate the pressure within the system by allowing excess water to flow into the expansion tank when needed. This helps prevent damage to the system from excessive pressure buildup.
What is the purpose of an expansion tank in a hot water heater system?
The purpose of an expansion tank in a hot water heater system is to accommodate the expansion of water as it heats up, preventing pressure buildup and potential damage to the system.
