Deep Well Application (Single Pipe System)

Where pumping water level is greater than 25 feet and inside 

diameter of well is 2, 2-1/2 or 3 inches. On single pipe deep well 

installations, clean, sound well casing must be used to give a tight seal.
NOTE: This application requires a well adapter for the top of the well.

NOTE: Pre-soak packer leathers for approximately two hours before 

installation.
1.   Attach foot valve directly to bottom of ejector assembly. Ejector 

must be submerged 10 to 15 feet below pumping water level and 

the  foot valve must be at least five (5) feet from bottom of well.

2.    Attach foot valve and packer ejector to suction pipe (presoak 

packer leathers for approximately two (2) hours). Push the 

assembly down the well. Some force may be required to push the 

ejector down the casing.

3.    As each section is lowered, check for leaks by pouring water into 

the suction pipe.

4.    Attach well adapter to suction pipe, lower over casing top and 

tighten adapter flange.

5.    If no leaks are found, proceed to WELL TO PUMP CONNECTION 

(SUCTION PIPE) using piping of the same diameter as the suction 

pipe (1-1/4”) and pressure pipe (1”) tappings of the pump.  For long 

offset distances, see chart on page 9 for the proper pipe size.

6.    Unions in suction and discharge piping near pump and well will aid in servicing.  Be sure to leave enough surrounding room so that wrenches 

can be used easily.
