Section 7 Pressure Tanks
and Piping
Standard Pressure Tank
When a pump is used with a standard pressure tank, it must
be connected to the tank using standard fittings. A rubber
isolator hose should be connected between the pump and
the tank to reduce noise and vibration transmission. Set
the tank on bricks to avoid condensation beneath the tank.
Install a union and a gate valve between the pump and tank
for servicing. Install an air volume control in the tank tapping
and connect ¼" tubing to the pump. (Figure 12.)

Replacing a Standard Tank With a
Pre-Charged Air Tank
Many times a defective steel tank must be replaced with a
pre-charged air tank to provide effective system protection.
Figure 13 should be followed for correct connection to the
system.
Because a pre-charged air tank is precharged with air, it will
always occupy less space than a standard tank for similar
amounts of pressurized water. Be sure to plug the air port on
a jet pump, as it is no longer necessary to supply air to the
tank.
Adjusting Pre-Charged Tank To
System Requirements
Pre-charged tanks are shipped with a standard precharge of
38 PSI. The precharge should be adjusted according to the
installation instructions packed with the tank.
