HORIZONTAL PIPING FROM WELL TO
PUMP
1. Pump performance will be decreased
if less than 1
1
⁄
2
” pipe is used as suction
pipe on 4RJ41, 4RJ42 and 4RJ44, and
if less than 2” pipe is used as suction
pipe on 4RJ40 and 4RJ43.
2. To aid priming on well point
installations, install line check valve.
Be sure check valve flow arrow points
toward pump.
DISCHARGE PIPE SIZES
Discharge pipe size should be increased
to reduce pressure losses caused by
friction on long pipe runs.
• Up to 100' (30.5 m) run: Same size as
pump discharge port.
• 100' - 300' (30.5 - 91.4 m) run:
Increase one pipe size.
• 300' - 600' (91.4 - 182.9 m) run:
Increase two pipe sizes.
LAWN SPRINKLING APPLICATION
This pump is designed for lawn
sprinkling. Delivers plenty of water at
full sprinkler pressure. Pumps from
pond, cistern, or well points.
Pump discharge can be divided to
supply 4 or more sprinkler systems.
Do not use in booster pump
applications.
PUMP/PIPING INSTALLATION
If turning pump on and off by pressure,
a pressure switch and tank are required.
For proper installation and operation
instructions, call Customer Service.
Use rigid pipe. Do not use hose or
plastic tubing. See “Well Pipe
Installation” for more information.
NOTE:
Use only Teflon tape or Teflon
based joint compounds for making all
threaded connections to the pump
itself. Make sure that all pipe joints in
the suction pipe are air tight as well as
water tight. If the suction pipe can suck
air, the pump will not be able to pull
water from the well.
1. Bolt pump to solid, level foundation
(See Figure 4).
2. Support all piping connected to
pump (See Figure 5).
3. Wrap 1
1
⁄
2
to 2 layers of Teflon tape
clockwise (as you face end of pipe)
on all male threads being attached to
pump.
4. Tighten joints hand tight plus 1
1
⁄
2
turns.
Do not overtighten.
5. Replacing the priming plug with a
pressure gauge (purchased
separately) will aid in sizing zones,
troubleshooting, and following the
pump performance chart.
NOTE:
Install pump as close to well
head as possible. Long piping runs and
many fittings create friction and reduce
flow.
NOTE:
For long horizontal pipe runs,
install a priming tee between check
valve and well head (See Figure 2). For
driven point installations, install check
valve. Be sure that check valve flow
arrow points
toward
pump.
