I post a while back about what connections to use on my Bladder tanks with top of tank connections.

https://www.hearth.com/talk/threads/bladder-expansion-tank-connections.132044/#post-1776797


Does the height or elevation of bladder tank connection matter in relation to the height of the air separator?

I would like to elevate the tanks on some shelving to save floor space. Will it matter if the tank connection is higher than the Taco 4900 air separator?

The line going to the bottom of my air separator is at 70" from the floor. I would like to have top of tank closer to the ceiling like about 90' from floor.

Here is the current line height.

This shows the 1/2" line to bottom of air separator.

This is the rack that I want to put bladder tanks on but in a high position.
