Title: Tee connection for well water storage tanks

Abstract: A break-away tank tee fitting for connecting a well water storage tank to the supply or service line. The tank tee fitting has a unique disconnect arrangement for connecting the service line to either a bottom or side inlet tank. This arrangement allows the tank to be removed and replaced without cutting any pipes or wires. The tank tee fitting also provides a unique arrangement designed to easily accommodate in less space the pump switch and pressure gauge normally found in systems where the fitting is used.
