Expansion Vessel for Metropolis DGT 25 BF Boiler - Ref. 5183726
When you turn on the tap or start the heating, the expansion vessel for the Metropolis DGT 25 BF boiler - Ref. 5183726 from Sime is responsible for absorbing the increase in water volume as it heats up. If this part fails, you will notice that the boiler pressure fluctuates sharply and the safety valve may start to leak. This expansion vessel is compatible with several Sime models, such as the Metropolis DGT 25 OF and the Ecomfort Plus 25 HE-EV, among others. It is advisable to replace it if you observe these symptoms to avoid larger issues.

How to check if the part number 5183726 is the one for your boiler.
What determines it is not the boiler model, but the reference printed on the part you already have installed.
- Find the reference printed on the installed part and check whether it matches the catalogue reference 5183726. If it is not visible, do not identify the part from its shape alone.
- Check the full boiler model on its data plate and look for it in the model associations on this page.
- Compare the connections and physical body with the original part before installation.
- If anything is unclear, send us a photo of the marking via WhatsApp before placing your order.
Symptoms and faults that the expansion vessel 5183726 resolves.
The expansion vessel absorbs the expansion of water when heated. These are the typical symptoms and what to do:
Common symptoms and faults
- 01
The boiler loses pressure every few days and the heating circuit needs to be refilled.
Cause: The expansion vessel has lost its air charge and no longer compensates for the expansion of the water when heated, causing the system to be short on pressure.
Check for visible leaks in radiators, bleed valves, or fittings before considering the expansion vessel acceptable.
- 02
The safety valve drips or releases water from time to time, especially when the heating has been on for a while.
Cause: If the expansion vessel does not absorb the expansion, the excess pressure escapes wherever it can: the safety valve.
Check if the dripping coincides with the start of the heating or if it is also constant with the boiler cold; that already gives a good indication.
- 03
The tank sounds solid, as if filled with water, when struck sharply with the hand on the casing.
Cause: When the internal membrane breaks, air is lost and the vessel fills with water to its full capacity.
Tap the top of the tank: if it sounds hollow, there is air; if it sounds full across the entire surface, the diaphragm is ruptured.
- 04
The pressure gauge rises quickly as soon as the burner starts, almost suddenly.
Cause: Without an air cushion to absorb the increase in volume, the pressure in the circuit rises directly when heated.
Note the cold pressure before turning on and compare it with the reading a few minutes after starting the heating.
These symptoms can have more than one cause. If your boiler displays a fault code, send it to us via WhatsApp along with a photo of the labeling, and we'll tell you if this is the part.
