WELL TO PUMP CONNECTION (SUCTION PIPE)

1. Attach ejector to face of pump with two (2) bolts and gasket provided. Venturi tube on   

  the ejector inserts into the top tapping of the face of the pump (Fig. 1).

2.   Make the connection to your well. Wrap all threaded fittings with pipe tape 5 times and 

then apply a pipe paste (pipe dope) to ensure an air tight connection (Fig. 2).

3.    The use of a union (optional) will assist with easy connection and disconnect (Fig. 3).
4a. NOTE:  For drilled (cased) wells, a foot valve is required in the well at the end of the pipe  

   to maintain prime (Fig 4a).
4b. For driven wells, a check valve is required at the top of the well to maintain prime.  Flow  

   arrow must point toward pump (Fig. 4b).

5.    Finish the connection to your well with additional pipe and fittings as needed (Fig. 5).

Shallow Well Application Only

  

CAUTION:  

Dry-fit entire assembly to ensure proper fit before gluing or taping parts.

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

Use pipe tape and pipe paste compound on all male threads. Tighten with wrench to a snug 

fit and add another 1/4 turn to ensure proper seal.
