About a year ago I was looking at Expansion Tank sizing and I found an
'alternative' to the typical cylindrical bladder expansion tanks (2
gallon) that were more of an 'inline' style and they were
substantially smaller because they were like 5" in diameter but 1.5'
long.

I can't seem to find these anymore on the web or in group
discussions... does anyone know what Im talking about or was I smoking
crack?

thanks

Yes there was some made out of copper but I could not
tell you by who if I was to guess I will say Parker MFG.

Well, I can't seem to find any mention of it anymore on the web or via
various google searches. So, unfortunately, I guess Im just going to
have to put in a 'classic' tank. The smallest one I can find is 8" x
10" so that isn't too bad. The one I saw before I think must have been
out of the UK or something, I was actually quite neat since it's form
factor was extremely small. Perfect for my single loop hydronic
heating application.

thanks for the help everyone.
