To MACPLUMB, Redwood and anyone else who wants to chime in.
As per your recommendations, I have included a picture of my existing water heater cold water inlet. I am going to add an expansion tank as required and recommended by everyone here.
The distance from the water heater to the shut-off is only 7". I have an additional 5" above the shut-off before it meets a tee.
I'm thinking of a using a loop back which means the expansion tank would hang below the lower pipe in the loop.
Is there a better way?
Thanks in advance
John
