What does an expansion vessel do?

Turn off your boiler and contact a qualified heating engineer immediately. High pressure can cause damage to your system.

Can I replace the expansion vessel myself?

It is recommended to have a qualified heating engineer replace the expansion vessel to ensure correct installation and system safety.

This expansion vessel is compatible with Worcester Bosch Greenstar and Greenstar Oil boilers, including the 25CDI COMBI and 30 CDI COMBI. Always check compatibility with your specific boiler model.

Troubleshooting

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup

Installation should be performed by a qualified heating engineer. The vessel is typically connected to the heating system via a specific connection point, usually near the boiler.
