Install 8" (20.3 cm) PVC Pipe
1.
Line up the 6.5” wide parallel dotted lines on the 8” (20.3 cm) PVC pipe and glue the
sections together with bell end toward pump end to make length of system. Center the
float valve tank between the dotted lines. Then glue float valve tank assembly to the
pipe. For example, for a system with 50’ of pad, the 8" pipe will be 53’ (2 ½ ft. on the
float tank end and 6 inches extending past the post on the opposite end.)
NOTE: If a Center-Mount In-Line Pump System is being installed, the 8” Tee should be
installed in the middle of the 8” pipe.
