3. Firmly clamp the torque arrestor to the pipe
approximately 2 to 4 ft. above the pump,
using the two clamps provided with the torque
arrestor. (Fig. 3)
4. Typical installations include the following
components. Purchase these items separately
depending on your need.
(Fig. 4)
Discharge pipe - delivers water to home
Well seal or pitless adapter - keeps debris out of
well
Safety rope - prevents pump from falling
Check valve - keeps water in pipe
Electrical cable - connects to house electricity
Torque arrestor - keeps pump stable
Drop pipe - connects pump to discharge
Well casing - holds all components

Spring-Loaded Check Valve
(Recommended every 100 ft.)
Safety Rope

Well Casing
Torque Arrestor
Drop Pipe
Electrical Cable (Secured to drop
pipe with tape or clamps every
10 ft.)

Submersible Cable Splicing
Pump is equipped with a lead wire assembly. The length of wire needed to attach to this lead wire assembly is
equal to the distance from the pump in the well to the top of the well. Additional wire will be needed to run
from the top of the well to the house.
CAUTION: Follow instructions carefully to make a watertight splice. A leak in the splice can result in pump
damage, blown fuses, overload protector tripping or electric shock hazard.

Splicing instructions
1. Slide one black shrink tube from a heat shrink
splice kit over each wire (including the green
ground wire) coming out of the pump. (Fig 1)
2. NOTE: For each wire coming out of the pump
, including the green ground wire, slide the
wire from the pump into one end of a metal
connector from the splicing kit. Then slide
stripped end of wire from electrical cable into
other end of metal connector. Connector should
be centered over both wires. Squeeze metal
connector until it closes tightly over both wire
ends.

3. Slide one shrink tube over each crimped joint.
(Fig 3)
4. Hold a torch approximately 6 in. from the center
of the tubing and move it back and forth. Heat
one set of wiring tubing at a time until seal is
completed. During the heating process, keep all
other wires/tubing away from heat to prevent
melting together. Avoid overheating, as this may
make the tubing brittle. When liquid oozes from
end of tube, seal should be complete. (Fig 4)
CAUTION: Do not lift pump by power cable
or motor leads! Damage to cable or leads will
result.
