For multiple manifold installations no more than 90 tubes should be connected in series. Equal banks of these should be then plumbed in parallel. Contact Thermomax for information on larger system design. 2. Storage tank – Rheem Solaraide HE glass lined tank capacity 80 gallons /w 4500w 230v element. See P30 3. - Page 19 MAZDON INSTALLATION AND OWNERS MANUAL 7. Expansion Vessel – Extrol #15 by Amtrol. If the water temperature in the system rises, the water volume will increase resulting in a rise in pressure, and the possibility of damage to the system if the expansion is not absorbed. By incorporating an expansion vessel into the system, the increase in water volume may be contained until the water temperature has reduced and the volume returns to its initial level.
