According to the manufacturer's Installation Warning & Operating Instructions, the " BackStop Thermal Expansion Tank is a safety device that prevents dripping valves and extends the overall life of the heating system". We suggest having a licensed and qualified professional review your application and determine if this unit can be used as required. Unfortunately, we cannot provide guidance on applications in the field as each application is unique and should be in accordance with your local Authority Having Jurisdiction. We highly suggest having a local professional review your application and conduct the installation.
