Burcam 105 Series Submersible Deep Well Pumps or SUB-PACS v.2 - Manual (Page 6)

6
Lay the pump on the ground a foot or two from the well head with the discharge end pointing
away from the well. Connect the power cables to the motor lead using the heat shrink kit.
Review the instruction on the previous page. If you have purchased a Sub-Pac, the wire and
splice kit will be attached to the motor pigtail.
Your submersible pump is equipped with a check valve installed in the discharge opening of
pump. With teflon tape, wrap the threads on a 1” male adaptor or on a 1 1/4’’-1’’ reducing
male adaptor and with your pipe wrench, install adaptor into opening of the pump discharge.
Do not over tighten-snug-up until slightly hard to turn. (Brass adaptors are recommended for
long life. Electrolysis will damage galvanized adaptors).
Locate your 1” Plastic Poly Pipe and lay-out on the ground to the desired length for your
pump setting in the well. Slide two of 1” stainless steel hose clamp over the end of your
plastic pipe. With your propane torch, heat this end of the plastic pipe. While warm, slide pipe
over adator installed in the pump’s discharge. With your screwdriver, securely tighten
clamps. Use electrical tape to tape the tab ends of the clamps.
To prevent the pump from hitting the side of the well casing and well, and to prevent
possible damage to the submersible pump cable when the pump and motor starts in the well,
a torque arrestor (150158) is required. Remove torque arrestor from its carton and
disassemble into two halfs. At 6” or so above the pump’s discharge and around the pipe, place
each half of the arrestor and with the clamps provided, install the arrestor. Tighten the bottom
clamp securely. Then, push the top portion of the arrestor towards the middle so that it expands
to the size of inside diameter of your well casing. Securely tighten the top clamp, with your
scewdriver. Tape the tab ends of the clamps with electrical tape. We recommend that you install
a torque arrestor every 35 m (100’) on the well pipe.
Regardless of which method you choose to lead the pump discharge pipe into the home, a
trench should be excavated from the well head to the location where the pipe will enter the
basement wall. The trench should be excavated so that the discharge pipe will be installled
below the frost level for your area, usually 4-5 feet deep. The typical diagram shown in this
manual does not show this trench for your discharge pipe.
Refer to the diagram. Prepare and assemble the well seal assembly. The well seal size is
determined by the inside diameter of the well casing with the pipe size of 1". All fittings will
be brass or galvanized and are of 1" NPT size. When the well seal assembly is complete,
it can be put in place along with the discharge pipe and secured to the well casing by
tightening the seal bolts and nuts. When using a pitless adaptor, the connection to the
system supply line (discharge pipe from the pump) is made below ground level and below
the frost level for your area. To install the pitless adaptor, the well casing is cut and the
pitless adaptor is lowered into place by using a riser pipe connected to the top of
the adaptor. The riser pipe should be about 4' long and constructed of 1" steel pipe. Before
the adaptor is securely tightened into place on the casing, a 1" brass male pipe adaptor
should be installed in the bottom opening on the pitless adaptor and one more adaptor
installed in the discharge connection leading from the pitless adaptor. Use teflon tape on all
thread connections and securely tighten with your pipe wrench.
