PUMP INSTALLATION FOR WELL AND SURFACE WATER
1. Mount pump on a solid foundation as close to
the water source as possible.
CAUTION: Support the 2 in. inlet
pipe from the well or lake to the inlet port
to prevent sagging. Sagging will create air
pockets within the pipe that will prevent the
pump from priming and operating correctly.
2. Glue female 2 in. union to the end of inlet
pipe leading from the water source.
3. Connect the 2 in. union together to complete
the inlet line to the pump.
4. Glue a 6 in. piece of 1-1/2 in. pipe to the
female portion of the 1-1/2 in. union.
5. Glue 1-1/2 in. ball valve to the other end of
the 6 in. piece of pipe.
6. Connect the 1-1/2 in. outlet pipe to the
sprinkler system by gluing in additional
sections of pipe as needed.
7. Connect union to ensure proper fit. Do not
tighten until after priming.
CAUTION: Do not glue union together.
