PUMP PREPARATION FOR WELL AND SURFACE WATER

  CAUTION:  

Dry-fit entire assembly to 

ensure proper fit before gluing or taping parts.

  CAUTION:  

Follow all proper gluing 

procedures as specified by the glue 

manufacturer. Always glue in a vertical direction 

whenever possible to prevent glue from 

dripping inside pipe or fittings

  CAUTION:  

Use thread tape and a thread 

paste compound on all male threads except for 

the unions. Tighten securely with a wrench and 

add another 1/4 turn to ensure proper seal.
1.  Thread 1-1/2 in. MPT x 1-1/2 in. slip adaptor 

into the outlet port located at the top of the 

pump.

2.  Glue a 6 in. piece of 1-1/2 in. pipe into the 

adaptor.

3.  Glue a 1-1/2 in. tee to the pipe.
4.  Glue a 1-1/2 in. slip x 1-1/4 in. adaptor to 

the top opening of the 1-1/2 in. tee.

5.  Thread in a 1-1/4 in. priming plug or optional 

priming plug with pressure gauge. 

NOTE: Hand tighten only, as this will be 

removed for priming.
6.  Glue another 6 in. section of 1-1/2 in. pipe 

into the opening in the 1-1/2 in. tee.

7.  Glue the male thread side of a 1-1/2 in. 

union to the pipe.

8.  Thread 2 in. MPT x 2 in. slip adaptor into 

the inlet port located on the front of the 

pump body.

9.  Glue an 8 in. section of 2 in. pipe into the 2 

in. adaptor.

10. Glue one side of a 2 in. union to the pipe.
