Got everything ready to replace the pictured system I put into the house in 2006. This time I'm putting in a 10" shorter Rheem heater with a 20 gal. Dayton steel pressure tank. I've acquired all new attachments for the Dayton tank and the "T" piping from the tank will be very similar to the picture .... with the exception of moving the turn off ball valve on the pictured right side from vertical to horizontal (attached directly to the T with the elbow moved to the right side). I've been reading all the benefits of a CSV valve in such a system.
Looking at the schematics on the cyclestopvalve.com website it appears like I could "simply" replace the check valve position on the left side with a CSV1A valve onto the tank "T" and then attach the check valve with a short 1" nipple to the CSV ( before the well input piping on the left side).
Hoping then I could set the CSV at about a constant 45 psi. I do not want to exceed the 50 psi because of my poly-B piping.
Is this feasible and is the CSV1A the appropriate valve ?
