INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
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.
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.
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.
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).

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.
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.
