Installation (Continued)
2. Install a second close nipple and tee
with a relief valve in the tee.
3. Connect the other end of the second
discharge tee to your plumbing
system.
4. Check the pre-charge of air in the
tank with an ordinary tire gauge. The
pre-charge should be 2 psi less than
the cut-in setting of the pump’s
pressure switch. The pre-charge is
measured when there is no water
pressure in the tank. Your new pump
has a 30/50 psi switch, so adjust the
tank pre-charge pressure to 28 psi.
You have just completed the tank
connection for your jet pump. Please
go to Pages 11 and 12 for Electrical
Installation.
STANDARD TANK CONNECTION
(FIGURES 13, 14, 15)
1. Install a close nipple and a tee in the
pump discharge port. Mount a relief
valve in one arm of the tee.
2. Install a second close nipple and tee
in the open arm of the first tee. Put a
priming plug in one arm of the
second tee.
3. Run a pipe from the open arm of the
second tee to the inlet port of your
tank. The pipe size must be at least
as large as the pump discharge port.
4. Remove the 1/8” NPT pipe plug from
the pump Air Volume Control (AVC)
port (See Figures 13 and 14). Run
tubing from the pump’s AVC port to
the port on the AVC mounted on the
tank. See instructions provided with
tank and AVC for details.
You have just completed the tank
connection for your jet pump. Please

Installation.

SEALING PIPE JOINTS
Use teflon tape or a teflon-
based pipe joint compound to
seal the joints in the suction
pipe. Make sure that all pipe
joints in the suction pipe are air-
tight as well as water tight.
If the suction pipe can suck air,
the pump will not be able to
pull water from the well.
