Product Description
14-gallon pre-charged pressure tank for 4 fixtures and residential well pump systems
Product Overview
The Red Lion RL14A maintains water pressure in residential water pump systems when the pump is not running. This pressure tank maintains consistent water pressure by separating compressed air from potable water, helping reduce pump cycling and improve system efficiency.
Quick Specs:
Capacity: 14 Gallons
Maximum Pressure: 150 PSI
Connection Size: 1" FNPT
Pre-Charge: Factory pre-charged (adjustable via air valve)
Certification: NSF/ANSI/CAN 61 and NSF/ANSI/CAN 372
Optional Tank with Stainless Steel Install Kit configurations include an adjustable pressure switch, factory pre-set to 30/50 PSI.
The Red Lion RL14A pressure tank itself is compatible with standard residential pressure switch settings, including 20/40, 30/50, and 40/60 PSI.
Key Features of Red Lion RL14A Pre-Charged Pressure Tank
Features heavy-duty 20-gauge steel construction for the main tank shell
Incorporates patented Leak Safe Technology to reduce leak risks and extend tank life
Uses a high-performance Variable Geometry Butyl Rubber diaphragm membrane
Isolates water completely from compressed air, without requiring an air volume control
Eliminates interior rough spots and sharp edges through a specialized welding process
Provides a 1" 304 Stainless Steel Female (FNPT) elbow connection
Tank Installation Kit Options (Adjustable Pressure Switch Included)
Tank Only
This option includes the Red Lion RL14A pressure tank only. Installation components such as the pressure switch, gauge, and fittings are not included.
Tank with Stainless Steel Install Kit
Includes the Red Lion RL14A pressure tank paired with a 304 stainless steel tank installation kit with pressure switch, gauge, relief valve, union, and hose bib.
Each tank install kit includes:
304 stainless steel tank tee with union
30/50 PSI pressure switch
75 PSI stainless steel pressure relief valve
0-100 PSI pressure gauge
Stainless steel drain valve (hose bib rated to 200 PSI)
Important Compatibility Note:
The pressure switch included with the installation kit ships with a factory preset 30/50 PSI pressure setting and can be adjusted to match common residential well system pressure ranges.
Supported residential pressure ranges include:
20/40 PSI
30/50 PSI
40/60 PSI
This adjustability allows the installation kit to work with most residential well pump systems without requiring a different pressure switch.

Installation & Maintenance Guidelines
Initial adjustments to the pre-charge must be done prior to tank installation with the tank empty
Adjust the tank pre-charge to 2 PSI below the pressure switch cut-in setting
A pressure relief valve is recommended for system safety
Check the air pressure annually to ensure proper pre-charge
Clean the outside of the tank periodically using only soap and water

Frequently Asked Questions
Is the pressure switch adjustable, or is it locked at 30/50 PSI?
The optional installation kit switch is factory set to 30/50 PSI but is fully field-adjustable to other ranges like 40/60 PSI.
Does the tank come pre-charged?
Yes, this is a pre-charged well pressure tank with an adjustable air valve.
How should the tank pre-charge be set?
Adjust the tank to 2 PSI below the pressure switch cut-in setting while empty.
What is the difference between total volume and drawdown?
Total volume is the tank size, while drawdown is the usable water between pump cycles.
Is this tank safe for drinking water?
Yes, it is certified for potable water use.
What is Leak Safe Technology?
It uses a protective liner and stainless steel connection to reduce leak risk.
Can I install this tank myself?
The tank should be installed by a qualified professional following local codes.
What do I do if I replace a galvanized tank?
Remove air volume controls and plug any bleeder or snifter valves before installing the new tank.
