EXPANSION VESSEL for Potterton 80

[pieter3]

I'm looking for a HOT WATER EXPANSION VESSEL - UP TO 3.2 BAR for the Potterton combi 80. Potterton doesn't make this part anymore.

Does anyone have a tip where I can find this part, new or reconditioned.

No kidding sherlock

.

Shouldn't think they ever did but I will guess that zilmet may well have. Give us the gc number of the boiler and we may be able to trace it. If not available cap of the existing one (if neccessary) and fit an external replacement (if possible).

the boiler model is 'potterton combi 80', its almost the same as the puma 80.

it uses the same expansion vessel as the lynx.

part no. is 43000701, and is still availible, try mjt controls

cost from mjt controls £70.68+vat.


why do you need a new one, have you had an rgi try to recharge it!!

could also be the hose to it, which can get blocked by debris...

look in my profile, and email me.

I have problems with the hot water pressure and plumber had a look at it and told me the pressure vessel doesn't give a right signal. It signals it has plenty of hot water but doesn't.

Start at the beginning with the problem you have....a pressure vessel won't signal anything. Does hot water run hot and cold or does it just have no pressure at all the taps?

With my limited knowledge of domestic boilers, I would question what the hell the expansion vessel hiding in the Potty boiler has to do with the hot water side.

Methinks someone is having a laugh.

I'm a graphic designer not a plumber....

From the beginning:
There is a problem with the boiler giving hot water. It seems the boiler is confused, so am I.

When opening the HW tap the pressure is sometimes very low. The boiler does make a click sound but will not heat the water.

Facts:
• There is no problem with the inlet water pressure.
