Description
The Bell & Gossett 1BN331 (Model HFT-40V) is a heavy-duty diaphragm-style expansion tank engineered for residential and light commercial hydronic heating systems. Factory precharged to 12 PSI and ready for immediate installation, this tank absorbs the pressure fluctuations caused by thermal expansion of system water — protecting boilers, pumps, and piping from damaging overpressure conditions.
With a 20.0-gallon tank volume and a 1″ Female NPT system connection, the HFT-40V is well suited for medium-to-large hydronic heating systems. Its non-ASME construction keeps installation straightforward while delivering reliable, long-term performance in closed-loop heating applications.
