IMPORTANT GENERAL SAFETY INFORMATION -

ADDITIONAL SPECIFIC SAFETY ALERTS APPEAR IN THE FOLLOWING INSTRUCTIONS.

DO NOT USE OXYGEN - EXPLOSIVE! Protect against freezing temperatures. Never pre-charge below 50% of maximum system pressure.

If adjusting the pre-charge pressure higher than 55 PSIG the unit must be tied to the system immediately. Failure to do so could damage the bladder and void all warranties.

EXPLOSION OR RUPTURE HAZARD. A relief valve must be installed to prevent pressure in excess of local code requirement or maximum working pressure designated in the Product Manual, whichever is less. At least once every 3 years or if discharge is present, a licensed contractor should inspect the temperature and pressure relief valve and replace if corrosion is evident or the valve does not function. FAILURE TO INSPECT THIS VALVE AS

DIRECTED COULD RESULT IN UNSAFE TEMPERATURE OR PRESSURE BUILD-UP WHICH CAN RESULT IN PRODUCT FAILURE, SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH AND/OR SEVERE PROPERTY DAMAGE AND VOID THE PRODUCT WARRANTY.

Pre-Installation

2.Remove air cap.

3.For applications with pump start-up creating water hammer, adjust the factory pre-charge setting to 15% below static pressure.

4.For applications with surge issues created by pump shut down, adjust the factory pre-charge setting to 50% below static pressure.

5.For applications with quick closing valves, please consult manufacturer for tank location and pre-charge settings. (401) 535-1216.

6.Replace and tighten cap on air valve.

Typical Installation

Installation

Amtrol SPT-70 warranty Please Read the Following Instructions Carefully

SPT-70, SPT-7 specifications

Amtrol is a well-known name in the field of water storage and heating, particularly recognized for its innovative products that combine reliability with advanced technology. The Amtrol SPT series, including models SPT-35, SPT-21, SPT-42, SPT-50, and SPT-7, represents a range of superior pressurized tanks designed for various applications in residential and commercial settings.

One of the standout characteristics of the Amtrol SPT series is the use of superior materials and craftsmanship that ensure durability and longevity. These tanks are typically constructed from high-quality steel, coated with a corrosion-resistant enamel finish, which helps protect against wear and tear from environmental factors. This ensures that the tanks maintain their structural integrity over time, providing customers with a reliable storage solution.

In terms of technology, the SPT series incorporates advanced manufacturing techniques that enhance performance. These tanks utilize an internal polypropylene liner that prevents rust and corrosion, maintaining the quality of the water stored within. The tanks are also equipped with Amtrol's revolutionary butyl diaphragm, which separates water from the air, ensuring consistent pressure and reducing the frequency of cycling for water pumps. This feature ultimately leads to energy savings and less wear on the pump system.

Each model in the SPT series has its unique capacity and dimensions to suit different needs. For instance, the SPT-21, with its compact size, is ideal for smaller applications where space is limited, while the SPT-50 provides a larger storage capacity for more extensive requirements. The SPT-35 and SPT-42 fall in between, catering to a range of mid-sized applications, and the SPT-7 offers the flexibility needed for specific, smaller-scale uses.

Another notable feature of the Amtrol SPT series is the ease of installation and maintenance. The tanks come with pre-drilled openings for quick connectivity to plumbing systems and come with clear instructions, making the installation process straightforward. Their design also allows for easy access for routine maintenance, further enhancing the product's user-friendliness.

Overall, Amtrol’s SPT series combines technological innovation with practical design, offering a robust solution for water storage needs. Whether for residential or commercial applications, these tanks deliver efficiency, longevity, and peace of mind to users looking for reliable water management solutions.
