Pump Installation

Install a shallow well pump
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
operating depth
• One well seal with vent plug
• One 1-1/4" PVC elbow
• One discharge tee
• One pressure gauge
• One male 1" PVC adapter
• Enough rigid 1" PVC pipe to reach from pump to pressure
tank to service line
• One female 1" PVC adapter
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 wrench.
2. The total length of rigid PVC pipe
and couplings to cement onto
the 1-1/4" male PVC adapter is
equal to the operating depth (See
Determine Operating Depth).
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 further into
the well.
CONNECTIONS UNLESS SPECIFIED OTHERWISE.

• One 1" tank cross (for pre-charged tanks)
• Two 1/4" plugs
• One 1/2" drain cock
• One 10" x 1" nipple
Tools needed for all pump installations
Pipe wrench, pipe clamp, crescent wrench, slot screwdriver,
24-tooth hacksaw, knife or round file.
3. Cement as many couplings
and sections of rigid PVC
pipe as it takes to equal
the operating depth,
then firmly clamp the
assembly with a pipe clamp
to prevent the assembly from
sliding down into the well.
