(all sold separately) as needed for your particular
installation. (
Fig. 5)
6. Connect a drain valve to one of the 1/2 in.
openings in the tank tee. (
Fig. 6)
WARNING: Not providing a relief valve can
cause extreme overpressure that could result in
personal injury and/or property damage.
A properly sized pressure relief valve must be
installed on any installation where the pump
pressure can exceed the pressure tank’s maximum
working pressure or on systems where the
discharge line can be shut off or obstructed. The
relief valve drain port should be piped to a drain.
7. Attach the pressure relief valve to the remaining
1/2 in. opening in the tank tee. (
Fig 7)
8. To connect the pressure tank to the pump, begin
by threading a 1 in. coupling onto the pipe tee.
