INSTALLATION & OPERATION
PUMP INSTALLATION
INSTALL A SHALLOW WELL PUMP
The 1/2 HP FP4512 and 1 HP FP4532 pumps are recommended
for wells 25 feet or less in depth . If desired, the FP4542 and
FP4562 pumps may be converted for use with shallow wells
using an ejector kit (See REPAIR PARTS KIT) .
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
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.

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.
