Submersible Cable Splicing
Pump is equipped with a lead wire assembly. The length of wire needed to attach to this lead wire assembly is
equal to the distance from the pump in the well to the top of the well. Additional wire will be needed to run from
the top of the well to the house.
CAuTION: Follow instructions carefully to make a watertight splice. A leak in the splice can result in pump
damage, blown fuses, overload protector tripping or electric shock hazard.

Splicing instructions
1. Slide one black shrink tube from a heat shrink
splice kit over each wire (including the green
ground wire) coming out of the pump. (Fig 1)
2. NOTE: For each wire coming out of the pump ,
including the green ground wire, slide the wire
from the pump into one end of a metal connector
from the splicing kit. Then slide stripped end of
wire from electrical cable into other end of metal
connector. Connector should be centered over
both wires. Squeeze metal connector until it
closes tightly over both wire ends.

3. Slide one shrink tube over each crimped joint.
(Fig 3)
4. Hold a torch approximately 6 in. from the center
of the tubing and move it back and forth. Heat
one set of wiring tubing at a time until seal is
completed. During the heating process, keep
all other wires/tubing away from heat to prevent
melting together. Avoid overheating, as this may
make the tubing brittle. When liquid oozes from
end of tube, seal should be complete. (Fig 4)
CAuTION: Do not lift pump by power cable or
motor leads! Damage to cable or leads will result.
