Might I suggest installing a PVC-PTFE ball valve as the full-line-size isolation valve closest to the tank ?

As you probably know, that globe valve with a washer will eventually need to be opened up or removed for maintenance.; November 8, 2019 at 10:45 PM

Also, a globe valve produces a lot of pressure drop in a suction line, which is usually best to avoid.; November 8, 2019 at 10:49 PM
