Why it matters
Installing a pressure tank takes a tee, switch, gauge, relief valve, drain and ball valve. This kit bundles them on an 11 in brass tank tee with a union, plus a 40-60 psi switch, 100 psi gauge, check valve and male adapter. It fits tanks up to 16 in in diameter.
The relief valve ships unset: Miumoon says to adjust it to 75 psi before use. Both ends of the tee are 1 in male NPT and 3/4 in female.
Who it's for, and who should skip it
Good fit if
- New tank installs
- Rebuilding a tired setup
- DIY plumbers
Look elsewhere if
- Owners who don't want to set a relief valve
- 30/50 systems (swap the switch)
Pros and cons
Pros
- Complete kit
- Brass, lead-free
- Union for service
Cons
- Relief valve ships unset
- Generic brand
- 40-60 switch only
Limitations to weigh
- Turn the power off at the breaker before opening a pressure switch; the contacts carry line voltage.
- Set the tank's air pre-charge 2 psi below the pump's cut-in pressure (28 psi for a 30/50 switch, 38 psi for 40/60) with the water off.
- Set the relief valve to 75 psi before use, per Miumoon.
