5. Cement as many couplings and
sections of rigid PVC pipe on both the
pressure and suction sides as it takes
to equal the operating depth, then
rmly clamp the assembly with a pipe
clamp to prevent the assembly from
sliding down into the well.
6. Remove pipe clamp and slide well seal
over PVC pipes and onto well casing.
DO NOT let assembly slide down
into well. Position assembly so that
twelve inches of PVC pipes protrude
from well seal. Alternately, turn bolts
on well seal clockwise until rubber
gaskets are tight against the well
casing and the PVC pipes.
7. Cut 1" pipe 2" shorter than the
1-1/4" pipe. Smooth rough
edges. Cement 1" and 1-1/4"
PVC elbows to pipes protruding from
the well seal.
8. Thread a 1-1/4" male PVC adapter
into top hole in front of pump.
Thread 1" x 4" nipple into bottom
hole in front of pump. Thread the 1"
female PVC adapter onto the 1" x 4"
nipple.

as many
sections
and
couplings
of rigid 1"
and 1-1/4"
PVC as needed to connect the 1" female PVC adapter and the
1-1/4" male PVC adapter to the 1" and 1-1/4" PVC elbows.
10. Prime pump as described in Priming the Pump.
11. Open pressure regulator kit. Apply
2-3 wraps of PTFE pipe thread
sealant tape tape to the male
threads on the body of the pressure
regulator. With pipe wrench, thread
the pressure regulator into 1"
discharge at top of pump. Thread pressure gauge into side
of pump case.
12. Thread plug into opening to right of
pressure regulator outlet.
13. Complete all electrical connections as described in
Wiring Your Pump.
14. Thread 3/4" male PVC
adapter into pressure
regulator outlet.
15. Thread tank tee into
pre-charged pressure tank.
Plug two outlets on tank tee
with two 1/4" plugs.
16. Thread boiler drain into
