Albion Mainsflow expansion vessel split

[rubberoid]

Hi all. the vessel has split straight around the sealing rim and squirting watrer out, but I am struggling to get a replacement...any ideas:
The detail off the vessel is:
Zilmet
Capacity 160
Max workload pressure.

You need to ask for a 2ltr potable expansion vessel it doesn't need to be a "Zilment".

That's a shock absorber not an expansion vessel.

Kingspan (Albion ,Range, Copperform, Manco etc) don't use shock arresters now but do use the zilmet 2ltr vessels.

I blame it on not reading the question properly, and thinking Unvented.

sorry for being daft, but even though the size is different the function is the same?
If so, do I have to set the pressure myself in the new one...? Or does it come pre-set?
