Installation (continued)
5.
Center the tubing over the butt connector and apply heat
evenly with a torch (a match or lighter will not supply
enough heat).
NOTICE:
Keep the torch moving. Too much concentrated
heat may damage the tubing.
MECHANICAL SPLICE KIT WITH PLASTIC INSULATORS (for 14, 12 and 10 Gauge AWG Wire, or 2, 3 and 5.5 mm
2
wire)
1.
Cut off motor leads. Stagger the lead and wire length so that the second lead is 4 in. (101.6 mm) longer than the first lead and the
third lead is 4 in. (101.6 mm) longer than the second.
2.
Cut off wire ends. Match colors and lengths of the power supply wires to colors and lengths of the motor leads.
3.
Trim insulation back 1/2 in. (13 mm) from the cable ends and motor lead ends.
4.
Unscrew plastic caps from insulators. Place a cap and a
neoprene gasket sleeve on each wire end to be spliced.
Slide the insulator body onto one wire end.
5.
Insert the wire end into the butt connector and crimp.
Match cable and motor wire colors.
6.
Center the insulator body over splice and slide the
neoprene sleeves into the body as far as they will go.
Screw caps onto the insulator body and tighten by hand
for a strong, waterproof splice.
POWER SUPPLY WIRE INSTALLATION
1.
To test submersible, momentarily (no more than 30 seconds) connect it to the proper power supply. Power supply frequency and
voltage must match the motor nameplate frequency and voltage to within ±10%.
2.
Fasten the power supply wire leads securely to the pump discharge section; leave 4-5 in. (100-125 mm) of slack in the leads at
this point.
3.
Securely fasten the leads to the plastic pipe within 6 in. (150 mm) of the pump discharge section. Use centering guides to protect
wire and pipe from rubbing the well casing.
4.
Connect the copper ground wire to the motor bracket. Ground wire must be at least as large as wires supplying current to the
motor. Consult local codes for grounding information.
5.
Use only submersible power supply wires supplied by the pump manufacturer. When lowering the pump into the well, secure the
supply wires to the discharge pipe at 10 ft. (3.5 M) intervals with Scotch #33 electrical tape. Do not damage pump wires.
NOTICE:
To avoid dropping the pump down the well or damaging cable or cable splices, NEVER allow the pump cable to support
the weight of the pump.
