WX-103 (142PR1), 7.6 Gal WELL-X-TROL In-Line Well Tank

Amtrol WX-103 (142PR1) 7.6 Gal WELL-X-TROL In-Line Well Tank A precharged in-line well pressure tank used in plumbing/well water systems to help maintain system pressure and reduce pump cycling. Key Features: * 7.6 gallon in-line well tank * 3/4" connection * 7-year limited warranty * 150 PSIG max pressure * 38 PSI factory precharge * 0.42 max acceptance factor * Size and build details : * 22.25" height, 11" diameter * 15 lb * Blue enamel coating * Steel shell * Heavy duty butyl diaphragm * Virgin polypropylene liner * Listed as replacing 142PR1 Compatibility & Applications: * Listed for plumbing use as an in-line well pressure tank * Must only be used where the manufacturer specifies this exact part number: WX-103 (also referenced as 142PR1) Installation & Operation Notes: * Installation should be performed by a qualified plumbing/well system professional. * Refer to the system and tank installation instructions for correct piping, pressure switch settings, and safe depressurization before servicing. * SupplyHouse Q&A guidance: * This tank is designed to be installed vertically. * In a vertical installation, the water port must face down. * Precharge guidance: at installation, set the tank precharge 2 PSI lower than the pump cut-in (example given: a 40/60 switch would use 38 PSI precharge). * For changing/adjusting precharge, staff directs users to the tank's installation instructions for the procedure. Maintenance & Troubleshooting: * This tank is commonly replaced or serviced when a well pump system is short cycling or pressure performance has degraded. * Customer feedback frequently ties replacement to reducing pump cycling and restoring normal pump shutoff/pressure behavior. * If issues persist after replacement, verify precharge matches the pressure switch cut-in guidance and confirm the tank orientation and piping configuration match the installation requirements. User Reviews & Q&A Summary: * Reviews commonly describe it as a direct replacement that "fits and does the job," with multiple reports of improved operation (notably reduced pump cycling/short cycling). * Several reviewers mention replacing older WX-103 tanks that had been in service for decades and choosing the same make/model again. * Practical notes from reviews include occasional shipping-related cosmetic dents and comments about packaging, while others note the tank arrived well protected. * Q&A themes focus on orientation requirements (vertical, port down) and how to set precharge relative to the pressure switch cut-in setting.
