WELL TO PUMP CONNECTION (SUCTION PIPE)

3. Before sliding the pipe assembly into the

well, firmly clamp the assembly with a pipe

clamp (not included) to prevent the assembly

from sliding down into the well.

1. Thread 1-1/4 in. male PVC adapter (not

included) into a 1-1/4 in. foot valve (not

included). Hand tighten, then tighten 1/2 turn

with a pipe wrench.

CAUTION: Dry-fit entire assembly to ensure proper fit before gluing or taping parts.

CAUTION: Follow all proper gluing procedures as specified by the glue manufacturer. Always

glue in a vertical direction whenever possible to prevent glue from dripping inside pipe or fittings

CAUTION: Use pipe tape and pipe paste compound on all male threads. Tighten with wrench to

a snug fit and add another 1/4 turn to ensure proper seal.

2. Using a 2-step PVC system (not included),

attach enough 1-1/4 in. PVC pipe and

couplings (not included) to the adapter to

equal the depth of the well, minus 5 ft.

Pipe And Fittings

3. Use galvanized steel or NSF PW Schedule

40 PVC pipe and fittings. This material is

designed for water pressure and will seal

against air and water under pressure. Do

not use DWV fittings, as these are designed

for drains without pressure and will not seal

properly.

CAUTION: The entire system must be

air and water tight for efficient operation and to

maintain prime.
Wire Size:

The wire size is determined by the distance from

the power source to the pump motor, and the

horsepower rating of the motor. See the wire

chart on page 11 for proper wire size.

Well Seal

4. Remove the pipe clamp and slide a well seal

(not included) over the PVC pipe and onto

the well casing. The PVC pipe should extend

approximately 12 in. above the top of the well

seal, depending on the height of the pump.

NOTE: Do not let the assembly slide down into the

well. Tighten the well seal until the rubber gaskets

are tight against the well casing and the PVC pipe.

5. Using a 2-step PVC system, attach a 1-1/4 in.

PVC elbow (not included) onto the rigid PVC

pipe extending from the well seal.
