Installation
Process C. 1. Install a shallow well pump
(123357)
For wells 25 feet or less in depth, the 1/2 HP 123357 pumps are
recommended. However, the 1/2 HP 123355 and 1 HP 123353
convertible pumps may be adapted to shallow wells with an
ejector kit FP520-100-P2.
General Materials Required
• One can PVC cement (read instructions carefully)
• One can thread compound (read instructions carefully)
• One 1-1/4" foot valve
• Two male 1-1/4" PVC adapters
• Enough rigid 1-1/4" PVC pipe and couplings to reach from
bottom of well to pump
• One 4" well seal with vent plug
• One 1-1/4" PVC elbow
REMINDER: ALL JOINTS AND CONNECTIONS MUST BE AIRTIGHT. A SINGLE PINHOLE LEAK WILL
PREVENT THE PROPER OPERATION OF THE PUMP. USE THREAD COMPOUND ON ALL THREADED
1. Thread 1-1/4" male PVC adapter
into foot valve. Hand tighten,
then tighten 1/4 turn with
crescent wrench.
2. Subtract five feet from the depth
of your well (see page 2 "Finding
the Depth of Your Well"). This is
the total length of rigid PVC pipe
and couplings to cement onto the
1-1/4" male PVC adapter. Cement
one section of rigid PVC pipe to the
PVC adapter which is connected to
the foot valve, then lower the whole
assembly into the well, foot valve
first. Firmly clamp the end of the
rigid PVC pipe with a pipe clamp
to prevent the assembly from sliding
down into the well.

Tools needed for all pump installations
Pipe wrench, pipe clamp, crescent wrench, slot screwdriver,

3. Cement as many couplings and
sections of rigid PVC pipe as it
takes to equal the depth of your
well minus five feet, then firmly
clamp the assembly with a pipe
clamp to prevent the assembly
from sliding down into the well.
