Flamco Contra Flex expansion vessel, hanging, 8 liters capacity, red color, for central heating systems, maximum pressure 3 bar

The Flamco Contra Flex expansion vessel is a hanging pressure vessel designed specifically for closed central heating systems. With an 8-liter capacity, this red expansion vessel safely absorbs water volume fluctuations caused by temperature changes, maintaining optimal system pressure up to 3 bar. It is an essential component for protecting central heating installations, preventing pressure drops, and ensuring efficient, reliable daily operation in residential or commercial buildings.

Advantages

This reliable expansion vessel provides effective pressure management for closed central heating systems by reliably accommodating changes in water volume as temperatures fluctuate. Constructed with durability in mind, the hanging design saves valuable floor space and facilitates straightforward installation. By maintaining the correct operating pressure, it helps prevent unnecessary wear on system components and contributes to the overall longevity and safety of the heating installation.

Suitable for

• Closed central heating systems in residential homes
• Small commercial heating installations
• Systems requiring a hanging 8-liter expansion vessel
• Installations operating up to a maximum pressure of 3 bar

When it may not be suitable

This expansion vessel is not suitable for open-vented heating systems or domestic hot water potable water supplies, as it is specifically engineered for closed central heating circuits. Additionally, systems requiring a capacity greater than 8 liters or operating at pressures exceeding 3 bar will necessitate a different model to ensure safe and compliant operation.

Key specifications

• Capacity: 8 liters
• Mounting type: Hanging
• Maximum working pressure: 3 bar
• Application: Closed central heating systems
• Color: Red

How to use

Installation should be performed by a qualified heating technician in accordance with local regulations and manufacturer guidelines. The vessel must be securely mounted to a suitable wall using appropriate hanging hardware and connected to the return or supply line of the closed central heating system. Ensure that an isolation valve and draining point are included in the setup for future maintenance. Once installed, verify that the system is properly filled and that the pre-charge pressure aligns with the specific requirements of the heating installation before putting it into operation.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify that the 8-liter capacity meets the specific expansion requirements of your heating system
• Ensure the maximum pressure rating of 3 bar is compatible with your installation
• Check that your system is a closed central heating circuit
• Confirm that adequate wall space is available for hanging installation

Usage recommendations: Regularly inspect the expansion vessel annually as part of routine central heating maintenance to check for signs of wear, correct pressure levels, and secure mounting. Prompt professional checks are advised if unexpected pressure fluctuations occur within the heating system.
