Connector for 1" expansion vessel Reflex model 7613100

Connector for 1" expansion vessel Reflex model 7613100 is a mechanical fitting designed to link a standard 1-inch expansion vessel to system piping in heating and hot water installations. It provides a secure threaded interface that ensures correct alignment and reliable pressure management while maintaining compatibility with Reflex 7613100 vessels. The connector is intended for use in both replacement scenarios and new installations where a standard 1" connection is required.

Advantages

The connector offers a precise threaded fit for a 1-inch expansion vessel, reducing the risk of leaks and simplifying installation. Its design supports consistent pressure transmission between the vessel and the system, contributing to stable operation of heating circuits. Compatibility with Reflex 7613100 ensures a straightforward replacement without the need for adaptors, and the connector's compact form factor facilitates installation in confined plantroom spaces.

Suitable for

• Domestic and light commercial heating systems using a 1" expansion vessel
• Replacement of an existing Reflex 7613100 vessel connector
• New boiler, hot water or hydronic system installations requiring standard 1" fittings
• Systems where reliable pressure connection and leak prevention are required

Key specifications

• Connection size: 1 inch threaded interface
• Intended application: expansion vessel to system piping connection
• Compatibility: designed for use with Reflex 7613100 expansion vessel
• Function: provides mechanical pressure transfer and sealed connection
• Typical installation environment: heating and hot water systems

How to use

Ensure system pressure is released and the vessel is depressurised before starting work. Thread the connector onto the expansion vessel's 1" outlet by hand to align threads, then tighten to manufacturer-recommended torque using appropriate tools to secure a leak-free joint. Connect the system piping to the connector, checking alignment and support to avoid stress on the vessel connection. After assembly, gradually re-pressurise the system and inspect the joint for leaks and proper pressure behaviour.

Usage recommendations

Use compatible sealing materials and follow Reflex installation guidelines when available. Inspect threads for damage before fitting and replace the connector if any deformities are found. Periodically check the connection during routine system maintenance to confirm tightness and absence of leaks.
