Buffer tank accessories
Buffer tank accessories are used for connection, protection, control and service work on buffer tanks within heating installations. This includes electric heating elements, immersion pockets, inlet combinations, pressure relief valves and other technical fittings.
At Hewa, you will find buffer tank accessories for heat pumps, heating systems, boilers and combined heating installations. When selecting the right accessory, check connection type, thread size, pressure rating, material, capacity, electrical connection and compatibility with the buffer tank or installation.

Selecting buffer tank accessories
Buffer tank accessories are used to connect a buffer tank correctly, add electric heating, protect the installation or improve measurement and control. In heating installations, components such as electric heating elements, immersion pockets, pressure relief valves, safety groups and other technical fittings may be required to build a safe and service-friendly system.
The correct choice depends on the buffer tank type, connection, material, pressure rating, required function and technical design of the installation. Always check whether the component matches the thread size, maximum operating pressure, temperature class, power supply and mounting position.
Important when choosing buffer tank accessories
- Check connection type, thread size and mounting position
- Check pressure rating, temperature class and material version
- Select electric heating elements based on capacity and power supply
- Use immersion pockets for correct placement of sensors or thermostats
- Match safety components to operating pressure and system type
- Check compatibility with buffer tank, boiler, heat pump or heating system
- Have electrical components and safety fittings installed by a qualified installer
Accessories for installation, control and protection
Buffer tank accessories form the technical connection between the tank and the rest of the installation. For the basic system setup, also review buffer tanks for heating installations. For pressure protection, pressure relief valves for heating systems are relevant, while a boiler safety group for heating installations can be used within the correct system layout.
Electric heating elements can be used as an additional heat source or backup heater, provided the capacity, voltage and connection are suitable for the buffer tank. Immersion pockets are used to position sensors or control components at a suitable measuring point. Safety fittings must always match the operating pressure, flow direction and technical documentation of the installation.
Frequently asked questions about buffer tank accessories
What are buffer tank accessories used for?
Buffer tank accessories are used for connection, control, protection, measurement and service work on buffer tanks in heating installations. Examples include heating elements, immersion pockets and safety components.
When is an electric heating element used?
An electric heating element can be used as an additional heat source or backup heater. Always check capacity, power supply, connection, material version and suitability for the buffer tank.
What is an immersion pocket used for?
An immersion pocket is used to place a sensor, thermostat probe or measuring element in a suitable position inside the tank, without the measuring element having to come into direct contact with the water.
Which safety components are important for a buffer tank?
This depends on the system layout. Pressure relief valves, safety groups and other fittings may be required for pressure protection, control and safe operation of the heating system.
Who should install buffer tank accessories?
Installation must be carried out correctly and safely. Electrical components, pressure protection devices and technical fittings should therefore preferably be installed and checked by a qualified installer.
