Installation 4
In addition to General Materials, for Well Points only
• Enough galvanized 1-1/2" pipe and couplings to reach from
bottom of well to one foot above ground level
• One 1-1/2" galvanized elbow
• One 1-1/2" galvanized nipple
• One 1-1/2" check valve
• One 1-1/2" male PVC adapter
Tools Needed for all pump installations
Pipe wrench, pipe clamp, crescent wrench, slot screwdriver,
24-tooth hacksaw, knife or round file
REMINDER: ALL JOINTS AND CONNECTIONS MUST BE AIRTIGHT. A SINGLE PINHOLE
LEAK WILL PREVENT THE PROPER OPERATION OF THE PUMP. USE THREAD
COMPOUND ON ALL THREADED CONNECTIONS UNLESS SPECIFIED OTHERWISE.
1. Thread 1-1/2" male PVC
adapter into foot valve. Hand
tighten, then tighten 1/4 turn
with wrench.
3. Cement as many couplings and
sections of rigid PVC pipe as
it takes to equal the operating
depth, then firmly clamp the
assembly with a pipe clamp
to prevent the assembly from
sliding down into the well.

2. The total length of rigid PVC pipe
and couplings to cement onto
the 1-1/2" male PVC adapter is
equal to the operating depth (See
Determine Operating Depth).
Cement one section of rigid PVC
pipe to the PVC adapter which is
connected to the foot valve, then
lower the whole assembly into
the well, foot valve first. Firmly
clamp the end of the rigid PVC
pipe with a pipe clamp to prevent
the assembly from sliding further
into the well.
Inground Lawn Sprinkler Pump Installation
The 3/4 hp, 1 hp, 1-1/2 hp, and 2 hp pumps are all
recommended for inground lawn sprinkler applications. The
pumps with higher horsepower provide greater pumping
capacity.
