Relocating pressure switch - sanity check

[heppm01]

Somewhere along the way a previous owner moved the pressure tank from one spot in the basement to another spot about 15' away, but unfortunately left the pressure switch in its old spot. The end result is about 25' of 1" pipe between the switch and the tank. I understand this is really bad, and can confirm that the switch bounces three or four times when hitting the upper pressure limit. I intend on moving the switch to be mounted at the tank, but before I do so I want to run the plan past you to see if there is anything I am missing.

The first picture is the existing switch setup. The switch and gauge both work fine, so my plan is to re-use the assembly. I will make a cut at the blue line and cap the 1/:2" coming off the 1" line.

At the tank I will remove the plug circled in red, and using appropriate fittings install the old switch T in a vertical orientation.

(Of course I will also have to re-do the electrical wiring but I am confident with my knowledge there).

So -
1. Is this a reasonable thing to do?
2. Is there anything technically incorrect or undesirable with the end solution?

Moving the pressure switch to that location should stop the bouncing on start and/or stop. But won't do anything about the repetitive cycling on and off. The tank looks a little old, better check the air charge.

I think you plan to put a brass elbow which will make the new brass nipple vertical. Good plan. It should solved you early cutoffs and restarts.

And maybe even a new 0-100 psi pressure gauge would be good.

Pressure switches are fairly cheap, so you might as well go
