What it is

The Altecnic Reflex C Heating Vessel is an 18 litre expansion vessel for sealed heating systems. It provides a pressurised air cushion that absorbs the volume increase of water as the system heats, helping to keep system pressure stable. This unit is part of the Altecnic expansion vessel range.

Signs this part needs replacing

  • System pressure rises sharply as the appliance heats up and drops again when it cools
  • The pressure relief valve discharges water during normal heating cycles
  • Pressure is lost or cannot be maintained despite repeated topping up
  • Water is heard or seen escaping from the vessel's air valve when it is depressed
  • The vessel feels heavy or waterlogged when compared with its usual weight

Before you order

  • Confirm the existing vessel's capacity matches 18 litres
  • Check the vessel is a Reflex C unit so the mounting and connections suit the installation
  • Verify the system volume and pressure requirements against the vessel capacity before fitting
  • Inspect the system for other causes of pressure loss, such as leaks or a failed pressure relief valve
