Step 5: Preparing the vertical water supply line
For the WaterWell 2:
Cut the vertical water supply line, and make sure it sits ¾ - 1 inch (19 - 25 mm) below the top of the concrete with the
¾ inch NPT fitting attached. This allows ample space to connect the ¾ inch flex line to the valve, and then push any excess
flex line back down through the access cavity.
If the vertical water supply line is not cut to the required length, it will be difficult to connect to the valve and push
any excess ¾ inch flex line back down through the access cavity.
For the WaterWell 4:
Cut the vertical water supply line, and make sure it sits 2 inches above the top of the concrete with the ¾ inch NPT fitting
attached. This allows ample space to connect the ¾ inch flex line to the valve, and then push any excess flex line back down
through the access cavity.
If the vertical water supply line is not cut to the required length, it will be difficult to connect to the valve and push
any excess ¾ inch flex line back down through the access cavity.
a
Cut the supply line per the details pictured above, and attach a ¾ inch NPT male fitting onto the end of the vertical water
supply line. This will connect to the WaterWell ¾ inch flex line.
b
Insert one seal (supplied with the ¾ inch flex line) into one end of the flex line. Connect that end to the vertical supply line
and tighten with a pipe wrench.
c
Turn on the water to flush the line to remove dirt and debris, and to check for leaks at the connection. Turn off the water.
