INSTALLATION
Flexible pipe is prohibited on suction pipe (inlet pipe). Unions or hose couplings can be installed near pump to facilitate
removal for servicing or storage. A rubber hose installed between the water system and the house piping will reduce the
noise transmitted to the house.
1. INSTALLING PIPING IN WELL
Shallow Well Application Only
CAUTION: Dry-fit entire assembly to ensure proper fit before gluing or taping parts. Follow all proper gluing procedures
as specified by the glue manufacturer. Always glue in a vertical direction whenever possible to prevent glue from
dripping inside pipe or fittings Use pipe tape and pipe paste compound on all male threads. Tighten with wrench to a
snug fit and add another 1/4 turn to ensure proper seal.
For Cased well Installation
1. Connect 1-1/4in.Brass Foot Valve to 1-1/4in. PVC
MPT×S Male Adapter. Cement adapter to 1-1/4 in.
PVC rigid Pipe. All connections must be air- and
water-tight for pump to operate correctly. (Fig 1)
3. Cement 1-1/4in. PVC MPT×S Male Adapter at the top
of the Pipe. Install 1-1/4in.PVC TEE FPT×FPT×FPT
to the adapter. One end of port install another 1-1/4in.
PVC MPT×S Male Adapter. Add sections of pipe to
reach the adapter. (Fig 3)
For Well Point Installation
Drive the well, using "drive couplings" and a "drive cap". "Drive fittings" are threaded all the way through and allow the
pipe ends to butt against each other so that the driving force of the maul is carried by the pipe and not by the threads.
The ordinary fittings found in hardware stores are not threaded all the way through the fitting and can collapse under
impact. "Drive fittings" are also smoother than standard plumbing fittings, making ground penetration easier

2. Install well seal over 1-1/4 in. PVC rigid Pipe and into
well casing. Position the foot valve 5 feet above
bottom of well and at least 10 feet below the well's
water level.(Fig 2)
