Description
A Water Worker G-5 expansion tank is a safety device designed to protect residential water heating systems from dangerous pressure spikes and water overflow. When water heats, it expands—especially in closed plumbing systems where there is nowhere for that extra volume to go. Without an expansion tank, this pressure buildup can damage your water heater, pipes, and fixtures, or cause costly leaks. This 2-gallon tank absorbs that expanded water temporarily, keeping pressure levels safe and extending the life of your entire hot water system.
The Water Worker G-5 is engineered for standard residential setups, fitting water heaters up to 80 gallons. It comes factory-precharged at 40 psi and features a heavy-duty butyl diaphragm that flexes to accommodate water expansion while maintaining a leak-proof air chamber. The steel outer shell with polypropylene lining resists corrosion. The 3/4" male pipe thread connection works with existing plumbing lines. Manufactured in the USA, this tank is UL-listed, IAPMO and NSF compliant, and backed by a 5-year warranty.
