WELL TO PUMP CONNECTION (SUCTION PIPE)
3. Before sliding the pipe assembly into the
well, firmly clamp the assembly with a pipe
clamp (not included) to prevent the assembly
from sliding down into the well.
1. Thread 1-1/4 in. male PVC adapter (not
included) into a 1-1/4 in. foot valve (not
included). Hand tighten, then tighten 1/2 turn
with a pipe wrench.
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 fit and add another 1/4 turn to ensure proper seal.
2. Using a 2-step PVC system (not included),
attach enough 1-1/4 in. PVC pipe and
couplings (not included) to the adapter to
equal the depth of the well, minus 5 ft.

Pipe And Fittings
3. 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.
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 on page 11 for proper wire size.

Well Seal
4. Remove the pipe clamp and slide a well seal
(not included) over the PVC pipe and onto
the well casing. The PVC pipe should extend
approximately 12 in. above the top of the well
seal, depending on the height of the pump.
NOTE: Do not let the assembly slide down into the
well. Tighten the well seal until the rubber gaskets
are tight against the well casing and the PVC pipe.

PVC elbow (not included) onto the rigid PVC
pipe extending from the well seal.
