    Diaphragm expansion tank location on American Standard ng boiler

    its being piped to about 90 feet of copper fin tube. and the old boiler barely kept the house warm. the basement where it sits is unfinished and the house is old. winters are also bitterly cold here. according to my calculation it's 20% oversized. if go with one a size smaller it's 20% undersized.

    i have an old ng American Standard 1bj1 105k btu natural gas boiler for baseboard heating(pictured). i notice the diaphragm expansion tank is located on the same pipe as the PRV that comes out the top of the boiler. i thought these tanks were suppose to be located on the heating loop piping near...
