Install 8" (20.3 cm) PVC Pipe
1. Line up the 6.5” wide parallel dotted lines on the 8” (20.3 cm) PVC pipe and glue the
sections together with bell end toward pump end to make length of system. Center the
float valve tank between the dotted lines. Then glue float valve tank assembly to the
pipe. For example, for a system with 50’ of pad, the 8" pipe will be 53’ (2 ½ ft. on the
float tank end and 6 inches extending past the post on the opposite end.)
NOTE: If a Center-Mount In-Line Pump System is being installed, the 8” Tee should be
installed in the middle of the 8” pipe.
2. Place assembled pipe into brackets.
3. Adjust pipe assembly to extend end opposite pump 6” past the post.
1. Square ends of pipe.
2. Clean pipe and fitting with PVC cleaner.
3. Check dry fit of pipe and fitting.
4. Apply thin coat of cement inside of fitting. (Use care when greater
than 85
°F).
5. Apply liberal coating to outside of pipe to depth of socket.
6. Assemble parts quickly. Cement must be fluid.
7. Insert pipe into socket using a 1/4 turning motion.
8. Hold pipe and fitting together for 30 seconds. Wipe off excess
glue.
9. Wait 15 minutes before rough handling.
10. Do not apply fluid pressure until cement is fully cured (At least
one hour).
