(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.
