NOTE:
Use a minimum of 1 1/4" (3.2 cm) diameter PVC piping for the suction pipe for best performance.
A 1" (2.5 cm) MNPT x 1 1/4" (3.2 cm) SLIP adaptor will be needed to make the connection to the pump.
SHALLOW WELL INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING:
All joints and connections must be AIRTIGHT. A single leak will prevent the proper operation
of the pump. Wrap thread tape clockwise on all threaded connections. For all non-threaded
connections, you must use PVC purple primer and PVC cement to ensure airtight seals.
Measure all pipe lengths before attaching.

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.
Subtract 5' (1.5 m) from the depth of the
well. This is the total length of PVC pipe and
adaptors needed. Using PVC purple primer
and PVC cement (not included), attach as
many couplings and sections of rigid PVC
pipe (not included) to the adaptor as
necessary.
Wrap thread tape (not included) around
threads of a 1 1/4" (3.2 cm) male PVC
adaptor (not included). Thread adaptor into a
1 1/4" (3.2 cm) foot valve. Hand tighten, then
tighten 1/2 turn with a pipe wrench.
Remove pipe clamp and slide a well seal
(not included) over the PVC pipe and onto
the well casing (not pictured). The PVC pipe
should extend approximately 12" (30 cm)
from the well seal, depending on the height
of the pump (A).
NOTE: DO NOT let the assembly slide down
into well. Tighten the well seal until the
rubber gaskets are tight against the well
casing and the PVC pipe.
