The Expansion Tank on Your IBC Boiler

The expansion tank (expansion vessel) gives heated water room to expand, keeping system pressure stable. A waterlogged or failed tank causes pressure swings, repeated relief-valve discharge, and short-cycling.

On IBC systems — including models such as SL 20-160, VFC 15-150, V-10 — a failing expansion tank often shows up as ignition lockout or related symptoms. We diagnose it precisely and install the correct genuine IBC part.
