Installation 7
Install a deep well pump (ACE5C, ACE10C)
The 1 HP ACE10C is recommended for wells deeper than
25 feet but less than 70 feet. However, the 1/2 HP ACE5C pump
may also be used for depths less than 70 feet.
General materials needed for either of the convertible pumps:
• One can PVC cement (read instructions carefully)
• One can thread compound (read instructions carefully)
• Two 1" female PVC adapters
• Enough rigid 1-1/4" PVC pipe and couplings to reach from
operating depth to pump (delivery pipe)
• One 1-1/4" PVC elbow
• One 1-1/4" male PVC adapter
• One pressure regulator kit (see REPAIR PARTS KIT)
• One pressure gauge
• Two male 1" PVC adapters
• Enough rigid 1" PVC pipe to reach from pump to pressure
tank to service line
• Tank tee (for pre-charge pressure tanks)
• Two 1/4" plugs
• One 1/2" drain cock
In addition to General Materials for Convertible Pumps
• One 1-1/4" foot valve
• One 1-1/4" close nipple
• One ejector kit (see REPAIR PARTS KIT)
• One 1" x 5" nipple
• One 1-1/4" female adapter
• One well seal
• Enough rigid 1" PVC pipe and couplings to reach from
operating depth to pump (pressure pipe)
• One 1" PVC elbow
• Two 1-1/4" male PVC adapters
• One 1" x 4" nipple
REMINDER: ALL JOINTS AND CONNECTIONS MUST BE AIRTIGHT. A SINGLE PINHOLE LEAK WILL
PREVENT THE PROPER OPERATION OF THE PUMP. USE THREAD COMPOUND ON ALL THREADED
CONNECTIONS UNLESS SPECIFIED OTHERWISE.

FOOT
VALV E
TO INSTALL THE ACE5C and ACE10C
CONVERTIBLE:
1. Thread 1-1/4" close nipple into foot
valve. Thread the other end of 1-1/4"
close nipple into bottom of ejector.
Hand tighten, then tighten 1/4 turn
with wrench.
2. The ejector has two holes in the top
of it. Thread deep well venturi tube
into larger hole on top of the nozzle
until snug. Thread 1" x 5" nipple into
smaller hole. Only hand tighten venturi
tube. Hand tighten nipple 1/4 turn with
wrench.
3. Thread a 1-1/4" male PVC adapter
over the venturi tube and into
ejector. Thread a 1" female PVC
adapter onto the 1" x 5" nipple.
Hand tighten adapters 1/4 turn with
wrench.
4. The total length of PVC pipe and
couplings to cement onto both
1-1/4" male and 1" female PVC
adapters is equal to the operating
depth (See Determine Operating
Depth). Cement a section of PVC
pipe to each adapter, then lower
the whole assembly into the well,
foot valve rst. Firmly clamp the
end of the PVC pipes with a pipe clamp to prevent the
assembly from sliding down into well.
