Helping friend with IR Model 242 that he bought and has no unloader system nor check valve…previous owner simply had pressure switch to cut motor when pressure was reached. I want to install check valve with unloader port and pipe the unload port to pressure switch with unloader. Other than making sure the switch can handle the 2-stage pressures is there anything I need to consider?
I just purchased an IR T-30 model 242-5N1 80 gal vertical, circa 1978. It came in a few pieces electronically and was Unwired. The install was definitely a homeowner fire hazard special and I want to do it right/safe up through loose/dangling motor capacitors and bare wires. Looking for a manual or install guide. Already ordered a valve/head gasket rebuild kit.

Greetings. Trying to find info regarding an IR Type 30 Model 243C4. Serial Number is 30T36473. The rep from IR tells me the serial number is wrong and he can’t help me until I get the correct number. He says none were made without a 6 digit number. Any help ya’ll can offer is appreciated. Q1 – date of manufacture? Q2 – are model 243 parts all created equal? I think I have a sticky valve but don’t want to tear open the heads without knowing I can replace the seals. Thinking about total restoration if parts are available. Thanks… Read more »
