MALFUNCTION, CONTAMINATION, AND VOIDANCE OF THE WARRANTY.

2. TECHNICAL CHARACTERISTICS

WARNING: The values of the maximum working temperature and the maximum working pressure, shown in the label affixed

to the expansion tank and must be considered the maximum working parameters for the expansion tanks.

DO NOT INSTALL OR OPERATE THE SYSTEM AT SUSTAINED OR INSTANTANEOUS PRESSURE AND/OR AT TEMPERATURES

EXCEEDING THE LIMITS ON THE LABEL AFFIXED TO THE EXPANSION TANK.

The technical characteristics of the expansion tank are reported on the identifying label affixed to each product, including product identification, tank

volume, maximum working pressure and temperature, pre-charge pressure (factory set or user set), production year, and serial number. The label is

firmly affixed to the tank and must not be removed, tampered with, hidden, covered, or changed.

If the label on the ZILMET tank is missing or the technical characteristics on the ZILMET label are not legible, DO NOT INSTALL the expansion tank

and contact ZILMET immediately by phone at 401 884 4943 or by e-mail at [email protected].

Each tank comes with a factory precharge pressure that must be checked prior to installation. The precharge pressure may not be correct for the

installation. Measure and adjust the precharge, if necessary, so it is equals the operating pressure of the system.

If the system has been filled, the tank must be isolated from the system and the tank emptied before charging. This ensures all fluid has exited the

bladder and proper precharge pressure can be charged.

Check the precharge using a calibrated pressure gauge at the charging valve and adjust as required. Check air valve for leakage. Do not depend on

the valve cap to seal the leak. After making sure air charge is correct, replace air stem cap.

The Zilmet Flats, ZFT, Tanks come standard with a welded mounting bracket and a ZFT-U Tank Union Connector with two way check valve. This

valve makes it easy to install, service, and maintain the Zilmet Flat ZFT tank.

WARNING: EXCEEDING MAXIMUM PRESSURE AND/OR TEMPERATURE, EITHER SUSTAINED OR DUE TO SUDDEN

INCREASES, IS DANGEROUS AND MAY RESULT IN REDUCED TANK LIFE, PROPERTY DAMAGE, SERIOUS SCALDING

AND/OR BODILY INJURY OR DEATH.

Do not expose the expansion tank to temperatures lower than 14 °F. DO NOT USE ANTIFREEZE for the production

and storage of potable water. If antifreeze liquid is utilized for a closed hydronic system, you must use all

precautions to avoid dispersion in the environment and possible poisoning in accordance with applicable safety,

occupational, health and environmental codes and standards.

In accordance with local regulations, or following specifications agreed in specific cases between ZILMET and the purchaser, the maximum working

pressure and the maximum working temperature may be lower than those shown on the product label, but may never exceed the same. Please

always refer to the agreed specifications and/or to the local codes, regulations and standards.

3. WARNINGS

• The system in which the expansion tank is installed must have a pressure-limiting device (pressure relief valve), sized and installed in accordance

with local codes.

•To prevent corrosion due to stray and galvanic currents, the system must be grounded properly in accordance with local electrical and plumbing

codes and standards. If needed, the tank may be provided with dielectric joints after careful evaluation of the characteristics of the installation.

• Other possible causes for pin-holing and corrosion phenomena must be evaluated, including the water’s chemical, physical and thermal

characteristics, the presence of oxygen or melted salts and the use of devices made of different materials (e.g. carbon steel and stainless steel,

carbon steel and copper) within the system. All of these factors must be considered by the manufacturer of the complete system and by the

personnel in charge of installation and maintenance, taking into account all local plumbing, electrical and safety standards and regulations.

• Water quality may affect the lifespan of expansion tanks. Water may require treatment to ensure the correct performance and complete lifespan of

the expansion tank. If installed near the sea, damage from salty air may occur.

• Do not use this tank with the following fluids: (a) chemicals, solvents, petroleum products, acids, bases or any other substance that may be

detrimental to the tanks itself, (b) explosive, extremely flammable, flammable, toxic, or oxidizing fluids.

• Only use this tank with not dangerous fluids and having a vapor pressure greater than 7.25 psi above the normal atmosphere pressure (14.7 psi) at

the maximum working temperature of the expansion tank.

• Do not use this tank with water containing sand, clay, particulates or other solid substance that may damage the tank (particularly the internal

coating) and / or clog its connecting pipes.

• Proper means must be provided in order to prevent air from accumulating in the chamber of the tank (water side) connected to the system.

• The tank and the connected system must be protected against below-freezing temperatures by using proper antifreeze (if for use with non-potable

water, see above) or installing the tank in suitable indoor areas.

• Do not use this expansion tank for any purpose other than the purpose for which it was intended.

• The expansion tank, piping and connections may leak water or other liquids over time. Therefore, the expansion tank must be installed in a suitable

technical room capable of supporting the weight of the vessel filled with water and that must have adequate drainage and protection such that any

leakage will not damage the surrounding area and will not cause scalding injuries. THE MANUFACTURER SHALL NOT BE RESPONSIBLE FOR

ANY DAMAGE TO PROPERTY, INJURIES OR SCALDING IN CONNECTION WITH THIS EXPANSION TANK.

•THE MANUFACTURER SHALL NOT BE RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY DAMAGES TO PROPERTY AND / OR INJURIES DUE TO IMPROPER

TRANSPORT, HANDLING, INSTALLATION OPERATION OR MAINTENANCE OF THE TANK.

• As in all plumbing products, bacteria can grow in the expansion tank, especially during times of non use. The local health and safety office must be

consulted regarding any measures the personnel in charge of service and maintenance takes to safely disinfect the plumbing system. DO NOT USE

ABRASIVE DETERGENTS OR OTHER SUBSTANCES THAT MAY CAUSE DAMAGE TO THE TANK OR CONTAMINATION OF DRINKING

WATER. IF BACTERIA CONTAMINATION IS DETECTED, IT MAY BE ADVISABLE TO REPLACE THE TANK.

• DO NOT drill, open, heat with flames or tamper with the tank in any way.

• NOTE that certain pressure tanks may have an opened upper connection in order to allow the installation of a three way connection on which a

manometer and a pressure relief valve may be installed. If the three way connection is not installed, or the upper part is not closed with a suitable

threaded nut, fluid escape may occur from the vessel.

• In the event it is necessary to change the factory pre-charge, specialized technicians should calculate and determine the new pre-charge. The

calculation must ensure that, for all foreseeable working conditions, the specified limits (particularly the maximum working pressure) are never

exceeded and that all local codes and standards are observed.

WARNING -DO NOT OVER-PRESSURIZE- EXPLOSION HAZARD. The pre-charge should never exceed 50% of the maximum

working pressure. The new value of the pre-charge pressure (user set) must be written in the appropriate space on the label that is

permanently affixed to the tank.

• Make sure that the system layout allows for future maintenance and provides sufficient access and working space around the system to allow for

replacement of components whenever necessary.

• If vibration is likely to occur in the vicinity, proper means must be provided in order to insulate the expansion tank from vibrations (e.g. installation on

a resilient mount).

• The tank can only be disposed of at selective waste collection authorized centers, in accordance with local codes and standards.

4. GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS FOR INSTALLATION

Inspect the product for any damage that may have occurred during shipping. If evident damage is detected, notify the freight carrier and

reseller immediately, and do not install the tank.

PRIOR TO INSTALLATION OF THE TANK

1. Ensure that access to the installation area is restricted. Do not install where children are present or may be present.

2. Use caution and always wear protective gloves and safety goggles during installation and maintenance of the expansion tank. Use suitable

and appropriate lifting tools when positioning and installing the tank.

3. Choose an appropriate site for installation which is enclosed and well aerated. The tank must be placed far from heat sources, electric

generators and any other element that may damage the tank. Install in an area that allows for easy access and inspection of the tank.

4. Depending on the model, the weight of the expansion tank filled with water can be supported by the system piping. To avoid overloading the

pipes and possibly breaking or offsetting the pipe connections, it is important that the piping is supported by suitable bracing (strapping, hanger,

brackets). If the tank does not have a support base, and is installed horizontally, it must be properly supported along the entire length of the tank.

5. Before using any Zilmet accessory to hang the expansion vessel on a wall, check that the wall itself can sustain the weight of a full

expansion vessel, as it will fill with system liquid. This will add considerable weight to the tank during normal operation.

6. Before installing the expansion tank, remove the plastic cap on the air valve of the tank and using a controlled manometer verify that it has

the correct factory set pre-charge (with a tolerance of ± 20%). Adjust the tank pre-charge to the required value (do not over-pressurize) and

replace and tighten the plastic cap on the air valve. Only adjust the tank when empty of water and the system connection open to atmosphere.

7. Install the tank at the point specified by the system design, specifications and instructions, preferably in a vertical position for diaphragm cycle

symmetry to result in optimum product life. If tank is to be installed horizontally, then it must be fully supported independent from the piping. Install the

tank in the following places:

C = Air bleed valve D = Gate valve

E = Backflow preventer F = Manometer

G = Pump H = Utilities

I = Mixing valve L = Expansion tank

M = Boiler

ONLY QUALIFIED AND LICENSED PERSONNEL MAY PERFORM INSTALLATION.

DO NOT ACCESS WHILE UNDER PRESSURE. DANGER OF SCALDING, BURSTING OR WATER DAMAGE.

BEFORE INSTALLING, THE SYSTEM (INCLUDING THE TANK) MUST BE SHUT OFF, COOLED AND NOT PRESSURIZED, ALL

OF THE ELECTRICAL PARTS MUST BE UNPLUGGED AND THE TANK MUST BE COMPLETELY EMPTY.

M = Water heater

•The tank must be installed on the runback piping. An alternative

location may be on the supply side, provided that the maximum

working pressure and temperature limits are kept.

•The use of proper anti-scale and corrosion inhibitors additives is

required in hydronic systems; when necessary, also the use of

a proper anti-freeze fluid (glycol) must be considered.

•If tank is to be installed horizontally, then it must be fully

supported independent from the piping.

•The tank must be installed on the cold water supply side to

the water heater.

•If tank is to be installed horizontally, then it must be fully

supported independent from the piping.

A = Manometer B = Backflow preventer

C = Globe valve D = Pressure switch

E = Safety valve F = Basin with submerged pump/

G = Switch board H = Water system

I = Interchangeable membrane pressure tank

Note: pre-charge of the tank must be set 3 psi lower than the minimum pressure switch setting at which the pump starts.

INSTALLATION IN SOLAR SYSTEMS

For installation and operation review the system norms. Solar vessel must be installed in the supply line of the solar collector through use of a

suitable temperature-resistant solar ball valve with a shut off to the system. The maximum working temperature in the membrane may not exceed

212 °F. This can be achieved by installing a temperature control system or using a vessel for compensating temperatures (type ZILMET VSG). The

solar vessel must be installed in frost-free areas and have no direct heat. During the start-up, the pre-charge of the vessel must be adjusted

according to the system data and must be written on the label. When checking the systems pressure, the maximum working pressure of the solar

vessel must be considered and, if necessary, the solar vessel must be separated from the system. The solar vessel is resistant to 70% antifreeze.

The use of proper anti-scale and corrosion inhibitors additives is required in solar systems.

Do not insulate the connecting pipe or the solar expansion vessel.

Beware: this can get hot. Therefore, precautions should be taken

to ensure that access to this equipment is restricted. Do not install

where children are present or may be present.

Maintenance notes for solar vessels

When solar expansion vessel is connected to the system using a

butterfly solar valve, please follow these instructions before

performing gas pre-charge checks: 1) close the knob and open the

drain nipple to completely drain the tank, then check the pre-

charge pressure; 2) after checking the pre-charge pressure, close

the drain nipple and open the knob. When opening the drain

nipple of the butterfly valve to drain the solar expansion

vessel, please note that the solar fluid coming out from the

butterfly valve may be hot: therefore precautions must be

taken to avoid property damage, scalding and/or bodily injury.

When rinsing the solar system, the solar vessel must be separated

from the system by closing the ball valve outlet, thereby preventing

dirt particles from entering the solar vessel. Dirt particles may

cause damage to the membrane or corrosion.

Pay particular attention to the fact that the solar fluids may

undergo to chemical degradation (pH lowering) due to thermal

effect, causing corrosion of the tank and of other parts of the

system. This may happen also when the system is not working,

due to the stagnation of the fluid in the solar panels. The personnel

in charge of installation, commissioning and maintenance must

take into account this possibility and must follow the instructions of

the supplier of the solar fluid regarding periodical substitution of

the fluid itself and/or adding proper additives to the system.
