INSTALLATION - PLUMBING
1.
Plumbing connections are similar to a traditional tank
cross or tank tee. Provisions are made for popular
line sizes via a 1-1/4" NPT male outer thread and a 1"
NPT female inner thread. The plumbing connections
are not directional and allow flow from either side.
When attaching valves or fittings, uses the wrench
flats provided.
EXPLOSION HAZARD.
Failure to
follow these instructions can cause a
rupture or explosion possibly causing serious or fatal
injury, flooding, and/or property damage.
2.
Install the supply piping from the well pump. If required,
install a spring-loaded check valve. Install a shutoff
(service) valve on the outgoing line. This will allow the
Well-X1
®
to be tested prior to pressurizing the entire
system. DO NOT place a shutoff on the incoming
supply line.
NOTE:
The relief valve is sized for a maximum flow
rate of 10 gpm at 125 psi. If the pump installation
allows higher flow rates, an additional relief valve must
be installed.
3.
Connect the water line from the well pump to the inlet of
the Well-X1. Plumb the outgoing supply to the building’s
water supply system or into the water treatment
equipment (if present).
4.
Install a blow down tube from the relief valve to a drain or
to within 6" of the floor as required by local codes.
A drip pan connected to an adequate
drain must be installed if leaking or
flooding could cause property damage.
