First CSV installation

[bcoleman]

I recently purchased a CSV1A to install in my residence and have a few questions.

What are the two 1/2" and one 3/4" holes typically used for?

Since the CSV1A has two 1/2" and one 3/4" holes, what is best to use to plug them?  Since it is stainless and I am concerned putting in a different metal, are there stainless plug and if so, where is the cheapest place to get them?  On the same note, I would be willing to use the 1/2" holes for the pressure switch and gauge; however, the ones I have found are 1/4".  Do 1/2" ones exist?  Should I consider using a coupler?  For the 3/4", it would be ideal to use this with the pressure tank; however, I believe the pressure tank has a 1" inlet. 

Thank you

There should have been three sch 40 plugs in the box with the CSV1A.  Let me know if they were not there and I can send you some more.  All you need is a 1/2X1/4 bushing to use the extra port for the pressure switch, and a 1/2" pressure relief will fit in the other side.  The 3/4" port in the bottom is for the pressure tank.  We usually use the 4.5 gallon size tank that is 3/4" and will fit right in that spot.  But you can use a 3/4 nipple and a 1X3/4 bushing to attach the 1" tank you have now.  You can see how all that fits in the instructions for our Pside-kick kit that comes with all those things.

 Let me know if you have more questions.

No, I did not receive any plugs in the box.  I will check out the pk1a in more detail tonight.  Thank you!

Soryy there were no plugs in the box.  We try hard but sometimes we just miss something.  Call me with your address and I will send you some if you don't end up using the ports for the pressure switch and pressure relief valve.

I checked out the pk1a kit instructions.  Do you sell the stainless steel pieces separately?  I already have the CSV and the pressure tank.

[Cary Austin]

Yes we can get you whatever parts you need.  And since the plugs were not included in the box as they should have been, we will send you either the plugs or the SS fittings and pressure relief valve at no cost.  Just call us with your address and inform whomever answers of what I just said.
