Hi,
I'm about to replace my central heating header tank with an expansion
vessel.
Looking at it the most ideal place to fit the expansion vessel in the loft
where the tank currently sits.
There is a connection into the primary system and a ready made filling
supply.
Will need to fit a manual air vent to the high point.
Is there any reason why I can't fit this in the loft that anyone can think
of?

Thinking of heat in summer / cold in winter type things as it will
realistically be sitting on a dead leg of the circuit as far as water flow
is concerned.

TIA

There was a thread very recently on positioning of expansion vessels:

Hi David,

many thanks - I missed that somehow.
I'll have a look.

Is there any reason why you can't use the header tank? Makes filling with
inhibitor far easier.

What's the advantage?
