What it is

The Vaillant 181051 is a genuine 10-litre expansion vessel fitted inside Vaillant ecoTEC and ecomax boilers. It absorbs the extra volume created as water in the sealed heating system heats up and expands, preventing pressure building to a level that would otherwise trigger the boiler's safety valve.

Signs this part needs replacing

  • Boiler pressure creeps up repeatedly and needs frequent re-pressurising
  • Pressure relief valve discharges more often than normal
  • Vessel feels cold on one side and warm on the other when tapped, suggesting a failed internal diaphragm
  • Boiler locks out on high pressure faults

Before you order

  • Confirm the exact boiler model and year against the data plate, as fitment varies between ecoTEC/ecomax variants
  • Replacement must be carried out and re-pressurised by a Gas Safe registered engineer
