Key Features of Flexcon Well-Rite WR-260R 85 Gallon Pressure Tank
The outer shell consists of 16-gauge steel with a durable urethane paint finish for excellent corrosion resistance.
The CAD-2 diaphragm system uses a 100% butyl rubber diaphragm combined with a copolymer polypropylene lower water chamber to maintain complete air and water separation while preventing internal abrasion.
The patented welded stainless steel water supply connection includes separate air and water seals for enhanced reliability.
The tank arrives factory pre-charged to 38 PSI for easier installation and system setup.
This NSF 61 certified pressure tank supports safe use in potable water systems.
Tank Installation Kit Options (Adjustable Pressure Switch Included)
Tank Only
This option includes the Flexcon Well-Rite WR-260R pressure tank only, meaning installation components such as the pressure switch, gauge, and fittings are not included.
Tank with Stainless Steel Install Kit
Includes the Well-Rite WR-260R pressure tank paired with a 304 stainless steel tank tee assembly with pressure switch, gauge, relief valve, union, and hose bib.
Each tank install kit includes:
304 stainless steel tank tee with a union connection
Adjustable pressure switch
Pressure gauge
Pressure relief valve
Boiler drain valve
Thread tape
Important Compatibility Note:
The pressure switch included with the installation kit typically ships with a factory preset pressure setting and can be adjusted to match common residential well system pressure ranges. Supported residential pressure ranges include:
