Flotec TC2120-P2 Air Volume Control Kit for Jet Pumps

The Flotec TC2120-P2 Air Volume Control Kit for Jet Pumps regulates air volume in jet pumps for air-over-water steel pressure tanks. It automatically adds air to maintain proper pressure as the pump cycles. Designed for tanks with capacities of 6-42 gallons, it operates within a 20-60 psi range, with a maximum pressure of 100 psi. The kit features a 1/4" compression suction port and a 1/4" male iron pipe thread tank port.

Flotec U36-202BT Bladder Flange Nut

The Flotec U36-202BT Bladder Flange Nut is a 5/16" hex nut that serves as a replacement part for the bladder flange, ensuring a secure and reliable fit.

FAQs

1. What is a bladder flange nut, and why is it important in a pressure tank?

A bladder flange nut is a specialized fastener that secures the bladder inside a pressure tank. It ensures an airtight and watertight seal, preventing leaks and maintaining proper pressure within the system. If the flange nut becomes loose or damaged, it can lead to bladder misalignment, reduced water pressure, and potential system failure, making it essential to inspect and tighten it periodically.

2. How does an Air Volume Control (AVC) Kit improve jet pump performance?

An Air Volume Control Kit regulates the air-to-water ratio in a pressure tank, preventing waterlogging and maintaining optimal pressure levels. Without an AVC kit, excessive water accumulation can cause frequent pump cycling, leading to premature wear and increased energy consumption. The kit automatically adjusts the air volume, enhancing pump efficiency and extending the lifespan of the system.

3. What are the signs that a bladder flange needs to be replaced?

A failing bladder flange often exhibits symptoms such as water leaks around the tank connection, inconsistent water pressure, or difficulty maintaining proper air pressure. If left unchecked, a worn-out flange can cause the bladder to rupture or shift, leading to inefficient tank operation and potential water contamination. Replacing it promptly ensures the system remains leak-free and functions efficiently.

4. Can a pressure tank function properly without an air volume control kit?

While some modern diaphragm or bladder tanks do not require an air volume control kit, traditional galvanized tanks rely on them to prevent waterlogging. Without an AVC kit, excess water buildup can reduce air pressure, leading to frequent pump cycling and decreased efficiency. Installing an AVC kit is crucial for maintaining a stable air cushion, which helps regulate water pressure and prolongs pump life.

5. How do I know if my pressure tank’s bladder is damaged?

Common signs of a damaged bladder include inconsistent water pressure, a pump that cycles on and off frequently, or a tank that feels heavy and full of water when tapped. If the bladder ruptures, the air and water mix, eliminating the tank’s ability to maintain pressure, which can lead to pump strain and potential failure. Replacing the bladder or the entire tank may be necessary.
