Hi,
Can one of you provide some detailed instructions on how to safely R&R an expansion tank mounted above my boiler and also how to R&R the T&P valave mounted ont he boiler?
Also, do any of you have an idea of what the pressure reading on my boiler should be? This morning about 5:00 am when everyone was asleep and the hot water had not been used for over 6 hours the pressure was about 10 psi, dropped to 5 & then almost zero psi while I took the photos. The boiler came on and pressure went up to about 25 psi.
I have attached as many pictures as I thought would be needed to help.
1) What valves do I turn off?
2) Do I need to drain the 81 gallon pressure tank?
3) Do I need to turn the gas to the boiler off?
4) How do I release pressure in the expansion tank when water comes out of the schrader valve?
Thanks.
