Expansion tank wall mount bracket apparatus and method of use

An expansion tank wall mount bracket apparatus for selectively mounting an expansion tank, the apparatus comprising:

• a wall mount bracket having opposite wall mount bracket left and right side walls extending from a wall mount bracket body and defining therebetween a wall mount bracket inside width and further having a wall mount bracket lower end wall, the wall mount bracket further having at least one pair of opposing left and right slots formed in the respective wall mount bracket left and right side walls;
• and
• an L bracket having opposite L bracket left and right side walls extending from an L bracket body and defining thereacross an L bracket outside width that is less than the wall mount bracket inside width, the L bracket being further formed having an L bracket cut-out formed in the L bracket body and an offset L bracket lower end wall configured for selective positioning adjacent to the wall mount bracket body, wherein:
• the L bracket is selectively assembled substantially perpendicular to the wall mount bracket as by positioning the L bracket body partially against the wall mount bracket lower end wall and the L bracket lower end wall adjacent to the wall mount bracket body, whereby a connector of the expansion tank passes through the L bracket cut-out and the expansion tank is supported on the L bracket in cooperation with the wall mount bracket.

• a wall mount bracket having opposite wall mount bracket left and right side walls extending from a wall mount bracket body and defining therebetween a wall mount bracket inside width, the wall mount bracket being further formed having a wall mount bracket lower end wall and upwardly- and outwardly-facing wall mount bracket left and right side wall shoulders substantially adjacent to the wall mount bracket lower end wall;
• and
• an L bracket having opposite L bracket left and right side walls extending from an L bracket body and defining thereacross an L bracket outside width that is less than the wall mount bracket inside width, the L bracket being further formed having an L bracket lower end wall and upwardly- and outwardly-facing L bracket left and right side wall shoulders substantially adjacent to the L bracket lower end wall and substantially conforming to the wall mount bracket left and right side wall shoulders, wherein:
• the L bracket is selectively assembled substantially parallel to the wall mount bracket as by nesting the L bracket within the wall mount bracket with the L bracket lower end wall substantially adjacent to the wall mount bracket lower end wall, the L bracket body substantially adjacent to the wall mount bracket body, and the L bracket left and right side walls substantially adjacent to the respective wall mount bracket left and right side walls, whereby the expansion tank is supported on the assembled wall mount and L brackets in cooperation with one or both of the respective wall mount and L bracket left and right side wall shoulders.

• a wall mount bracket having opposite wall mount bracket left and right side walls extending from a wall mount bracket body, the wall mount bracket being further formed having a wall mount bracket lower end wall and having at least one pair of opposing left and right slots formed in the respective wall mount bracket left and right side walls;
• an L bracket having opposite L bracket left and right side walls extending from an L bracket body, the L bracket being further formed having an L bracket lower end wall;
• and
• an at least one adjustable strap configured for selectively passing through the at least one pair of opposing left and right slots to selectively retain the expansion tank against the wall mount bracket left and right side walls, wherein:
• in a first operational mode of the apparatus the L bracket is selectively assembled substantially perpendicular to the wall mount bracket as by positioning the L bracket body partially against the wall mount bracket lower end wall, whereby the expansion tank is supported on the L bracket in cooperation with the at least one adjustable strap retaining the expansion tank against the wall mount bracket;
• in a second operational mode of the apparatus the L bracket is selectively assembled substantially parallel to the wall mount bracket as by nesting the L bracket within the wall mount bracket with the L bracket lower end wall against the wall mount bracket lower end wall and the L bracket left and right side walls substantially adjacent to the respective wall mount bracket left and right side walls, whereby the expansion tank is supported on the wall mount bracket in cooperation with the at least one adjustable strap retaining the expansion tank against one or more of the wall mount bracket and the L bracket;
• and
• in a third operational mode of the apparatus the wall mount bracket and the L bracket are unassembled and separately employed in conjunction with multiple adjustable straps, whereby multiple expansion tanks are supported, one on the wall mount bracket and one on the L bracket, the L bracket further comprising opposite inwardly-facing left and right side wall bottom notches for selective passage therethrough of the at least one adjustable strap in mounting an expansion tank on the L bracket in the third operational mode of the apparatus.
