Is it an open or closed system?

[GLENN R. HELDER]

It aPpears to be closed. How can I determine?

I doubt it being a open system, If it is closed what you may have is a bomb waiting to go off. you better make sure it is a open system if not call the owner . this is something not to be second guessing.

An open system will have the expansion tank in the attic.

How about a picture?

I called the purchaser and sent an e-mail asking owner to have a service professional determine if there is a TPR valve and if not install one immediately.
Thanks for all your help everyone,
