Cap the tee with a threaded plug or a pressure gauge.
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.

Use only PTFE pipe thread sealant tape or PTFE-based joint
compounds for making all threaded connections to the pump
itself. Do not use pipe joint compounds on plastic pumps: they
can react with the plastic in pump components. Make sure that
all pipe joints in the suction pipe are air tight as well as water
