Here is what the manufacturer stated, they would need to know Brand Name and the Model number to the batteries so they can look up the data sheet to see if this kit will work for your batteries. They offer several different water supplies to water the batteries for their watering systems and one of them includes the gravity tank. (see picture below) However, if the intented use is to hook this up to the battery watering system on the batteries and to leave this connected as a “self-feed” type of system, this won’t work. When watering batteries with their system there needs to be 3-35psi or 2.5 to 5 gallons per minute flow rate for this system to work and then when the flow indicator balls will stop spinning at the connection, then you have to disconnect and stop watering. If you leave this unattended, you will over flow the batteries everytime due to a lack of flow rate. If this isn’t the intent for your application then the gravity tank is a good way to water your batteries but also please note that the gravity tank has to be a minimum of 6ft above the hightest battery you are watering to get the proper flow-rate for the watering system valves to shut off when watering.
