It can go into a tee in the Plumbing or into one of the 1/4" taps on the tank tee if you have one. It really doesn't matter how you do it as long as the switch is close to the tank.

You replaced the pressure tank so how do you find out what the pressure switch is set for so that I can adjust the air in the bladder?

Install a gauge in the plumbing. Usually 1/4" pipe thread. Or you can use a tire gauge and check the pressures on the Schrader valve on the tank. With the Pump on, you will be reading system pressure. With the pump off and all water pressure released from the system, you are reading tank pressure.

What is a water pressure switch?

A water pressure switch is commonly used to control a well pump. The switch is installed at the pressure tank and when water goes out of the tank pressure drops . When pressure gets to 30 psi that's usually the setting for the switch to activate the pump. The pump will come on and run for 2-5 minutes replenishing the tank to 50 psi then the switch will turn it off. (some systems are 40-60, but 30-50 is common)
