Description
The F92 Series Air Volume Controls for Shallow Wells control the
amount of air in the residential water storage tanks of shallow well water
systems. Shallow wells are less than 25 ft. (7.6 m) deep.
F92 Series Controls automatically maintain air volume in the storage
tanks of shallow well water systems by allowing room air to enter into
the air charging section of the pump when the water level in the tank
rises (loss of air volume).
F92 Controls open the air valve on a rise in tank water level to permit
charging air into the storage tank with pressures up to
80 psig (552 kPa).
Refer to the F92 Series Air Volume Controls for Shallow Wells Product
Bulletin (Part No. 24-7664-2993) for important product application
information.
Features
sturdy Noryl (high performance thermoplastic) body resists
mechanical damage and corrosion.
brass internal operating parts minimize corrosion.
pressure tested plastic float provides long operating life.
optional pressure gauge tapping allows mounting of a pressure
gauge.
Application
Water storage tanks in residential water systems rely on a volume of air
in the tank to provide system pressure, making it important to control
the amount of air in the tank:
Too little air in the tank results in rapid pump cycling — a problem
common in shallow well systems (less than 25 ft [7.6 m] deep).
Too much air in the tank results in air entering the distribution
system — a problem common in deep well systems
(more than 25 ft [7.6 m] deep).
Repair Information
If the F92 Series Air Volume Controls for Shallow Wells fails to operate
within its specifications, replace the unit. For a replacement F92 Series
control, contact the nearest Johnson Controls® representative.
