Expansion vessel (open horizontal) Kaps 10 L with handles C413503010

Open horizontal expansion vessel Kaps 10 L with handles C413503010 is a compact open-type reservoir intended for heating and central heating systems where an open expansion tank is required. The vessel provides 10 liters of working volume and features integrated handles for safe handling and straightforward mounting in horizontal orientation. It is designed to collect and compensate excess fluid volume created by thermal expansion in closed-loop and gravity-fed heating circuits that specify an open reservoir.

Advantages

This open horizontal expansion vessel offers a compact footprint and a 10 L capacity suitable for small to medium heating installations. Integrated handles simplify transport and installation into horizontal mounting positions. The open design enables atmospheric pressure compensation and visual inspection of fluid level when installed in accordance with system requirements. Constructed for compatibility with typical heating system connections, the vessel supports reliable volume compensation and system stability.

Suitable for

• Small residential heating systems requiring an open expansion tank
• Central heating installations with horizontal mounting constraints
• Renovation projects where compact open reservoirs are needed

Key specifications

• Type: open horizontal expansion vessel
• Nominal capacity: 10 liters
• Orientation: horizontal
• Handling: integrated carrying handles for mounting and transport
• Application: heating and central heating systems requiring open expansion

How to use

Install the vessel in a horizontal position using the integrated handles to position it securely on a suitable support or bracket. Connect the vessel to the system at the designated open expansion connection point, ensuring all pipes and fittings are compatible with an open reservoir arrangement. The vessel must be installed at the correct elevation relative to the system to allow free flow and atmospheric venting; follow local codes and system design documentation. After installation, fill and commission the heating system according to manufacturer and regulatory guidance, and verify fluid level and venting before regular operation.

Usage recommendations

Use the vessel in systems designed for open expansion only; do not seal or pressurize the tank. Periodically inspect the vessel, connections and mounting for corrosion, leaks and proper venting. Adhere to applicable installation standards and safety regulations when integrating the expansion vessel into heating or central heating systems.
