Ventilation -
Ventilation and drainage must be provided to prevent
damage to the motor from heat and moisture.
Freezing -
Pump and all piping must be protected from freezing. If
freezing weather is forecast, drain pump or remove completely from
the system.
Water Supply -
The water source must be able to supply enough
water to satisfy the capacity of pump and water needs. See
Performance Chart on page 2.
Suction Lift -
Suction lift is the vertical distance from the lowest level
of the water to the pump intake. See Performance Chart on page 2.
Horizontal Distance -
The horizontal distance is the horizontal
measurement between pump suction and the water source. This
distance may affect the ability of pump to operate. If it is more than
100 ft., call the manufacturer for assistance: 1-800-584-8089.
Wire Size:
The wire size is determined by the distance from the power source to
the pump motor and the horsepower rating of the motor. See the wire
chart in ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS for proper wire size.

Pipe And Fittings
Use galvanized steel or NSF PW Schedule 40 PVC
pipe and fittings. This material is designed for water
pressure and will seal against air and water under
pressure. Do Not Use: DWV fittings, as these are
designed for drains without pressure and will not seal
properly.
CAUTION:
The entire system must be air and
water tight for efficient operation and to maintain
prime.
Typical Pump Setup
1. Deep wells (25 - 70 ft. lift) where well ID is 4” or
more and a two pipe ejector is installed in the well.

CAUTION:
Dry-fit entire assembly to ensure proper fit before gluing or taping parts.
CAUTION:
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
CAUTION:
Use pipe tape and pipe paste compound on all male threads. Tighten with wrench to a snug

1. Attach the foot valve to the ejector using a
galvanized steel or plastic nipple. Add enough
1 in. pressure pipe and 1-1/4 in suction pipe to
submerge ejector 10 to 15’ below pumping water
level, making certain foot valve is at least five (5)
feet from bottom of well. If pressure pipe and
suction pipe of the same diameter are used, be
sure to identify them clearly so that they will be
connected to the proper tappings of the pump.
If a known well leak exists, replace nipple with
21 feet of 1-1/4 in. tail pipe between the ejector
and the foot valve. This will provide a continuous
source of water for the pumping system.

2. Check pipe and foot valve for leaks by filling pipes
with water. A continuous loss of water indicates a
leak in the piping, foot valve, or unions, and must
be corrected.
If no leaks are found, proceed to
WELL TO PUMP
CONNECTION (SUCTION PIPE).
