expansion vessels

im replacing 4 18 litre expansion vessels in a plant room and was wondering would it be acceptable to install a gate valve between them and the booster sets for further maintenance what your views on it ???good or bad practice???

As its not for expansion it would be ok they are for pressure , it would be probably a good idea to use lockshield valves or else remove the head off the gatevalves , also remember if the pump sets are for potable water to fit potable water vessels and you might have to pump up the vessels a bit more eg . If you want your pumps to pump up to 4 bar you need over 4 bar in the vessels otherwise the pumps will run constantly . If you were fitting vessels for expansion you would never fit a valve before it.

hsan you sound like a terrorist but a plumbing terrorist is probably more like it sure you didnt know how to join two common types of domestic plumbing pipes you were on here last week in a panic scouring the internet for info jesus man you have lost any street cred you had you should try get out of the plumbing game and get a job less "challenging" a lolly pop lady pops to mind:)
