The arrows on my valves are direction of flow.
I used th diagram from suicidedoors.
My question is the outlet valve.
Does the arrow go twoards or away from the from the T.
I understand there are many different ways to plumb,so I hope someone understand what I mean.

They go away from the pressure sorce like to the air bag from the tank and fromthe air bag to the atmosphere.

My sister in law used lived near an elementary close to Fort Bliss. One more question. How do you wire up the valves? They have 3 prongs.I know one is for ground ,but what about the other two?

On mine I only use two. One for ground and one for power. There is an extra ground, I assume it grounds the whole valve to prevent sparks. I assume this is in case you are running flammable gas through the valves, maybe in an industrial situation???

Another question.
The kit I bought from suicidedoors came with a pressure switch.
Can I mount it on the tank?

Yes, you want to mount it on the tank.
