GALVANIZED TANK INSTALLATION
1.0 TYPICAL INSTALLATIONS
Check Valve ①
Pitless Adapter ①
Pressure Switch
① On installations with a pitless adapter the top check
valve should be below the pitless, not at the tank, as the
discharge line should be pressurized back to the pitless.
② On installations with well seals or well pits it is allowable
to locate the top check valve near the tank.
CAPTIVE AIR TANK INSTALLATION
NOTICE: TANK PRE-CHARGE PRESSURE CHANGES MUST BE
MADE USING THE AIR VALVE ON TOP OF THE TANK.
