DRIVEN POINT INSTALLATION

NOTICE: More than one driven point may be needed to give adequate
water flow to pump.
Step 1. Connect the suction pipe to the drive point as illustrated in Figure
6. Keep horizontal pipe run as short as possible. Use Teflon tape on
male pipe threads. Multiple well points may be necessary to pro-
vide sufficient water to pump.
Step 2. Install a check valve in horizontal pipe. Flow arrow on check valve
must point toward pump.
HORIZONTAL PIPING FROM WELL TO PUMP
Step 1. Never install a suction pipe that is smaller than the suction port of
the pump.
Step 2. To aid priming on well point installations, install a line check valve
as shown in Figure 6. Be sure check valve flow arrow points toward
pump.
DISCHARGE PIPE SIZES
Step 1. If increasing discharge pipe size, install reducer in pump discharge
port. Do not increase pipe size by stages.
Step 2. When the pump is set away from the points of water use, the dis-
charge pipe size should be increased to reduce pressure losses
caused by friction.
• Up to 100' run: Same size as pump discharge port.
• 100' to 300' run: Increase one pipe size.
• 300' to 600' run: Increase two pipe sizes.

LAWN SPRINKLING APPLICATION

This pump is designed for lawn sprinkling. It is designed to deliver plenty
of water at full sprinkler pressure. It can pump from a pond, cistern or well
points.
Pump discharge can be divided to supply two (2) or more sprinkler sys-
tems. A suggested multiple discharge to service is shown in Figure 7.
Do not use in a pressure tank or booster pump application.
Maximum running pressure is 40 PSI for model FP5242 and 50 PSI for
model FP5252.
