PUMP PREPARATION FOR WELL AND SURFACE WATER

For Well Installations

11. Thread a 2 in. MPT x 2 in. slip adaptor into 

the foot valve. 

12. Glue 2 in. pipe into the adaptor. Glue enough 

sections of pipe together using 2 in. couplers 

in order for the foot valve to be completely 

submerged in water. Be sure inlet pipe 

will remain fully submerged at the lowest 

expected level of the water source.

13. Install well seal in order to hold the inlet pipe 

in position in the well.

14. Glue a 90º elbow when the inlet pipe is in line 

with the inlet port of the pump.

For Surface Water Installations

For surface water installations, follow steps 11 

and 12 above and then:
15. Glue a 45º elbow when the inlet pipe is in line 

with the inlet port of the pump.

16. Support inlet pipe with pipe support.
