Flamco Cubexpaks
Cubexpaks
A complete boxed set of equipment
that fits directly on the Cubex
expansion vessel.
This provides a compact and neat
assembly of all necessary
components for a domestic sealed
system. Cubexpaks are sized in the
same way as standard expansion
vessels.
Cubexpak type A
Cubexpak type A consists of: Cubex
expansion vessel, vessel manifold,
combined safety valve and pressure
gauge, double check valve with test
point, flexible braided hose with quick
fit connections and O ring seals,
stop valve for connection to water Cubexpak Dimensions Weight
