Expansion tanks are water tanks used in closed water heating systems to absorb excess water pressure and prevent damage to your water system. If you're looking for new tanks for expansion, find expansion tank suppliers online selling the tank you need. There are many types of expansion tanks, including well expansion tanks, hot water expansion tanks and portable expansion tanks.

You can easily find whatever type you need with a quick online search. Expansion tank manufacturers offer many different options to help you find the tank you need at the best price:
  1. Find an expansion tank supplier with an online catalog offering multiple types of tanks.
  2. Look at the products offered by the leading expansion tank manufacturer and find a local distributor.
  3. Find manufacturers offering information on expansion tanks to help you select the right product.




Action Steps
The best contacts and resources to help you get it done

Browse an online catalog of multiple expansion tank products


If you aren't sure exactly what sort of expansion tank you're looking for, your search for the right product can be a long one. Look for expansion tank manufacturers with online catalogs with a variety of products so you can easily compare products and prices.

I recommend: PexSupply.com sells a number of expansion tanks that are ideal for hydronic heating systems. Browse for a model that fits your needs, then choose from multiple sizes. NexTag.com allows you to easily compare products from multiple expansion tank suppliers. Find a price and model that suits you, then purchase directly from the supplier.

Find products from the leading expansion tank manufacturer


The leading manufacturer of expansion tanks is Amtrol, providing products engineered to control hydronic heating and store potable water. They manufacture a wide variety of thermal and hydronic expansion tanks as well as other water systems products, and offer services both nationwide and globally.

I recommend: Visit the Amtrol website for information about all of the different types of expansion tanks they manufacture. View their price book for information on list prices of all products so you know what a standard expansion tank should cost, and check out their different products, including the EXTROL hydronic expansion tanks and FIRE-X-TROL expansion tank with fire protection. Find local contacts for an Amtrol sales representative in your area.

If you're not entirely sure which expansion tank is right for your project, look to expansion tank suppliers and manufacturers for tips to help you make an informed decision. Look for websites offering details on sizing and installation needs so you buy a tank that's right for your business needs.

I recommend: Wessels Company sells a number of expansion tanks. Use their online guide for help with tank sizing for different types of tanks, including plain steel, diaphragm, bladder, and hydropneumatic tanks. Flexcon Industries is a leading manufacturer of expansion tanks. See their online guides for information on sizing, installation and product features so you can choose a model that suits your needs.
