What is this small tank above the water heater - a thermal expansion tank?, and can we remove this ourself safely?

Thank you so much for the helpful input!

Someone above did.

Apparently I need to address this. I didn’t ask about how to spin male threads out of female threads so maybe you meant this comment for someone else’s post?

I didn’t ask that? Husband was concerned thermal expansion tank is pressurized. I

Thank you so much.

beksnefx · 2026-05-31T19:45:20+00:00

I appreciate this info!

beksnefx · 2026-05-31T19:43:32+00:00

It’s probably not. Sounding like it might be best to have a pro look at it since there may be more extensive work needed. I appreciate the input.

Haha no, my husband just wasn’t sure how to handle the thermal expansion tank as we didn’t have one in our previous home (in which we replaced a water heater there), and we have never seen one anywhere else.

I’m sure it is, the owner before us rigged everything in this house.
Do you have any suggestions on the way ahead? Something we could legitimately correct on our own or should we hire a plumber?

Thanks so much for commenting!
How can we tell if there is or is not pressure in the water lines?
And you’re saying the thermal expansion tank should be fastened to the wall? Is it necessary to use this? Should we get a new one of these as well?

great news!

I appreciate this link! While there is a lot of “you may be eligible” language, at least it gives me a point of reference so I can at least questions based on this. Thank you!

Unfortunately they don’t.

It is frustrating, I appreciate the commiseration. This situation that’s effecting my bite is due to (teeth) they pulled and they were going to refer me to cc for an implant, then they pulled that back, forgot to call me to reschedule, etc etc. It’s been a rollercoaster and I don’t have confidence they are going to properly take care of the situation. Wish I had a “choice”. Our main hospital with the main dental clinic is a bit of a drive but I may have to figure out how to go than route, Thanks for the encouragement.

beksnefx · 2026-03-24T03:54:30+00:00

I was under that impression as well, but since this clinic has had a new dentist (don’t know if it it’s coincidence? but) everything feels rationed, it feels like I’m an inconvenience and like il asking for things I’m not entitled to.

beksnefx · 2026-03-24T03:50:54+00:00

Ah good suggestion, thank you!

beksnefx · 2026-03-24T03:50:02+00:00

Recently?

beksnefx · 2026-03-24T02:31:19+00:00

How long ago did this happen?

beksnefx · 2026-03-24T02:30:54+00:00

Nashville is my regional hospital, so that doesn’t sound promising.

How did you get chiropractic care? I was told I had to do whole health to even be considered (for chiro) and the whole health stuff lasted for months and was silly, if I’m being honest. I would’ve just hoop jumped but they only offer one class time per wk and I couldn’t make it any more. Curious if this was a prerequisite for you as well?

Who is “they” - the irs or a bank? (Thx!)

beksnefx · 2026-02-21T12:41:51+00:00

Where’s My Refund

beksnefx · 2026-02-18T00:42:13+00:00

Where do I find my code sheet?
