Yes, it would.
it would, but its best to size the tank properly for your system
We're not sure about glycerin, but it will work with glycol (mixtures up to 50%).
Even with an expansion tank, you should still have an air eliminator installed on the system.
Most systems require both an expansion tank and an auto-feed valve.
No, mounting the expansion tank in this manner would not be an issue.
It doesnt matter what way the expansion tank is installed as long as it is supported. my personal preferance is out the top or side facing up
The tank is pre-charged to 12 psi. Keep in mind that this tank is designed to be used in heating systems (not for potable water).
Potable water tanks can handle greater pressure (about 150 psi) than non-potable tanks (around 30 psi). We recommend that you either get a new tank or adjust the pressure on the one you have.
The proper size of an expansion tank for a heating system depends on BTU load. (For water heaters, size is the most important factor).
Yes, the ETX is the new version of the ET-30 tank.
