AIR VALVE REPLACEmENT
(PS models)
Hazardous Pressure. To be sure air
valve and core cannot blow out of tank, release all
air pressure from tank before removing valve core
or valve.
1.
Disconnect power to pump.
2.
Drain ALL water in system by opening faucet
closest to tank.
3.
Depress valve core to release ALL air pressure
in tank. When air stops coming out of valve,
remove core from inside of valve to release
remaining pressure.
4.
Push air valve back into tank. Be sure to
remove it before reassembling tank.
5.
Disconnect piping from tank and turn it on
its side.
6.
Remove flange from tank.
7.
Push water cell into tank far enough so that
you can get into tank with a dowel rod.
8.
Soap the outside of the new valve and mount
it on the end of a piece of 1/4" or 5/16" dowel
rod. Push the valve up past the water cell into
its mounting hole in the top of the tank. Push
it through as far as it will conveniently go;
leave the valve cap on to protect the threads
on the valve.

9.
Rap the end of the dowel sharply with a
hammer to drive the valve into position. Be
sure the shoulder on the valve seats against
the tank head (the ridge around the valve
body should be all the way through the hole
in the tank head – see Figure 6).
