A bit new to working with a pressure tank. The old setup was galvanized and very rusty. I removed all the galvanized pipe in the house and went with pex. I'm coming in with 3/4" pex to the Brass tank cross then up to the hot water heater and manifold.



I found this brass tank fittings kit in my hardware store and it looked pretty close to what I wanted. See attached image. Did I plumb this correctly? I had to use some plastic fitting because they didn't have all I needed in brass. Is this ok? Also the kit came with a 1" Check Valve, do I need to install this. Where would it go?

Thanks in advance

Thanks for the reply.

Does it make a difference where (left or right)the pressure guage and pressure switch screw in. I've seen it in this configuration and I've seen it where they're switched.

Do I teflon tape all the connections?

The pressure at both locations are the same so it screw them in where they fit best. Use teflon tape at every threaded connection.
