AIR PRESSURE TANK INSTALLATION
Install a pressure gauge (750769) and a pressure switch (750776S) (with a 1/4’’ X 3’’ nipple)
in the 1/4’’ opening of the tank ‘‘T’’. Then, install a drain valve (650659) and a safety relief
valve (1501162) in the 1/2’’ opening of the tank ‘‘T’’.
In the service line leading from the tank ‘‘T’’, we recommend that you install a service gate
valve to allow you to shut-off your water supply in the case of repairs to the home’s water
fixtures.
‘‘ Free-Standing type tanks have to be install offset from
your pump, and in the discharge line coming from your
pump’s discharge connection (either a jet or a submersible
pump). Turn your tank on its side and install a galvanized
90° elbow (1’’ or 1 1/4’’ as per needed) to the inlet-outlet
connection, using an ample supply of teflon tape on the
threads.
Determine the position or location in wich you wish to
leave your tank permanently. Leave ample room to make
your tank connections.
Screw the long end of the tank ‘‘T’’ (650651 or 650662)
to the tank elbow’s using teflon tape. If required, install a reducing adaptor 1 1/4’’ - 1’’ NPT.
Notes :
The above parts are recommended. Use teflon tape on
all threads. Use a pipe wrench to tighten each piece
adequately.
The tank size is very important. Ensure that you select
a tank wich will meet your requirements. Several tank
models are available (larger one is always preferable).
