How does a fill Trol water tank work?
Andrew Davis How does a fill Trol water tank work?
The FILL-TROL tank provides an air chamber to receive the expanded volume of water, which is created in the heating system as the water is heated. It is, therefore, essentially an expansion tank. Pressurizing the tank with a 12-psig air charge results in the pressure-reducing valve being set to 12 psig.
Where to mount a fill Trol in a Amtrol air vent?
An ideal residential FILL-TROL installation is to mount it on the bottom of an AMTROL American air vent and purger, located on the heating system supply main or it may be in a standard pipe tee (see Figure 1). To Install 1. Make connection to system with 1/2” pipe nipple from tapping marked “SYSTEM”. 2. Connect 1/2” copper tubing cold water
What is the minimum fill pressure for fill-Trol?
NOTE:Although FILL-TROL is shipped from the factory with a standard 12 lb. air charge which automatically sets the minimum fill pressure to 12 lbs., other minimum fill pressures may be selected by simply increasing or decreasing the air charge in the tank to the desired minimum fill pressure.
Is the fill-Trol valve air charged or air charged?
It is air-charged at the factory to 12 psig and is ready to install in residential and most commercial systems without adjustments when received. The FILL-TROL valve fills the system with water and automatically shuts off the flow when the system is filled and pressurized to 12 psig.

Why do you need a well X Trol tank?
The Well-X-Trol tank can be used whether pumps are above or below the surface. In either case, it protects the pump by reducing surge, dampening pressure spikes, offering a point of pressure control, and providing minimum run time. This location also permits all equipment to be placed in an area that’s both serviceable and secure.
