-Insufficient allowance for expansion on the boiler side can cause the boiler pressure relief valve to lift.

Is the expansion tank defective, waterlogged or improperly charged? (Non-Warranty)

-Check for failed gaskets or bladders, or a faulty Schraeder valve.

-Use a tire gauge to check the charged pressure of the tank.

Action Item:

-Turn the boiler limit up to a higher setting and let the system run at a higher temperature. This will simulate maximum expansion in the boiler system.

-If the boiler relief valve lifts and/or there is a significant increase in the boiler system pressure, the expansion tank is flooded or undersized.

Is the boiler pressure relief valve functioning properly? (Non-Warranty)

- Dirt and water deposits can accumulate under the valve seat.

Check the boiler automatic fill valve for defects. (Non-Warranty)

- Is the valve filling to the correct pressure?

Check for possible ‘inner tank leak’ *reason code 054

-If possible, isolate the Plus tank from the boiler system for an extended period of time. Observe the boiler system pressure during that time.

*This may be a manufacturing defect. Please initiate a warranty claim with Weil-McLain noting the reason code listed.
