Other Equipment
Drop Wire
Most use 12 gauge 3-strand wire (3
conductors, no ground OR 2 conductors
with ground) to extend the pump wire to
your desired depth. Deeper wells consider
thicker gauge wire.
Drop Pipe
PVC, Steel, Black poly pipe. For solar, more
guys are moving to black poly pipe that is
at least 160psi. For shallower wells the 1-
¼” Female thread outlet can usually be
reduced down to a 1” barb and pipe
without significant frictional loss.
Plumbing Parts
Proper couplers and thread tape to attach
pump’s female thread to your drop pipe,
and at the top of the well casing.
Safety Rope / Line
The drop pipe will hold the pump, but the
rope will support the pump in case the
drop pipe breaks or is damaged.
Tools to bring
●
Wire stripper/crimper
●
Screwdrivers (flat and Phillips head)
●
Electrical tape (for wrapping around
wire to drop pipe)
●
Teflon tape or thread sealant for tight
thread connections (recommended)
Parts & Tools for Install
Grounding
Grounding rod and bare copper wire to
ground your pump system
Well Seal
A cap or seal and plumbing for the top of
your well casing
Torque Arrestors & Spacers
With slow-start and slow-stop pumps like
WORKHORSE, torque arrestors are far
less commonplace and are usually omitted
during installation. There is no sudden
starting and stopping of the motor.
Solar Panel Racking
Hardware to mount solar panels unless
using WORKHORSE racking.
