Rwc QS-U Expansion Tank Mounting Bracket Stainless Steel

Product Description

The RWC QS-U is a stainless steel mounting bracket designed to secure thermal expansion tanks in residential and light commercial plumbing systems. Compatible with expansion tanks up to 5 gallons and up to 13 inches in diameter, this bracket provides a stable, code-compliant mounting solution where expansion tanks must be supported rather than left to hang on a connection fitting. Plumbers and mechanical contractors install this bracket during new construction and retrofit work to reduce stress on threaded connections and keep tanks properly positioned over time.

The QS-U bracket is suited for residential potable water systems and hydronic heating installations where a thermal expansion tank is required by code. It is typically installed in utility rooms, mechanical closets, and basement mechanical areas. The bracket secures the tank to a wall or structural surface, keeping the installation clean and preventing movement that could fatigue the supply connection over time.

Key Features

• Stainless steel construction resists corrosion in damp mechanical environments
• Accommodates expansion tanks up to 5 gallons in capacity
• Fits tank diameters up to 13 inches
• Strap-style design allows quick, secure installation without specialty tools
• Reduces mechanical stress on threaded tank connections by providing independent support

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style mounting solution for thermal expansion tanks up to 5 gallons and up to 13 inches in diameter, suitable for use in residential and light commercial plumbing and hydronic heating applications.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by a licensed plumber. Shut off the water supply and depressurize the system before working on any expansion tank connection. Mount the bracket to a structurally sound wall or framing member using fasteners appropriate for the substrate. Verify that the installed tank remains accessible for future inspection per applicable plumbing codes.
