Pressure Gage Valve
Hose Assembly
Pressure Relief Valve
The filler/discharge valve is a 4-inch gate valve, which,
together with the hose assembly, provides the connection
necessary to both fill and empty the tank.
A 0 - 15 PSI pressure gage is supplied to monitor the
pressure of the filled tank. Operating pressure is 4 - 6 PSI.
The pressure gage is controlled by a .25 NPT valve. The
valve needs to be closed when the pressure gage is
removed.
The hose assembly consists of two, 10-foot long by 4-inch
diameter water hoses with quick disconnect fittings, dust
caps and plugs.
Located on the top of the tank, the pressure relief valve is
manually operated to relieve trapped air. It is opened and
closed with finger pressure.
