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

CONNECTION (SUCTION PIPE).
