I am installing a CSV1A valve and I was wondering if I will have to use a snubber before the pressure gage and switch. What are the advantages of installing a snubber and what are the disadvantages if I leave this out?
-
Our Pside-Kick kits that use the CSV1A valve come with a snubber. If you are attaching the pressure switch/guage to the side of the CSV1A valve you will need a snubber. There is a lot of turbulance in the valve in that location. But if you put the pressure switch downstream of the CSV1A on the pressure tank fittings, you won't need a snubber.

Where can I purchase one? Anyone I have asked (in hardware stores) have no idea what a snubber is or where to get one.

You can get a little plastic button with a hole in it. These are cheap and can usually be found at the same places you purchase pressure switches. A Ray Roberts snubber is more expensive but will also work. Or we can get you a 1/4" MxF for about $10 if you want one from us.
