Installation 9
Process C, continued.
5. Cement as many couplings and
sections of rigid PVC pipe on both
the pressure and delivery sides as it
takes to equal the depth of your well
minus four feet, then firmly clamp the
assembly with a pipe clamp to prevent
the assembly from sliding down into
the well. Be sure to keep track of
which pipe is the pressure pipe and
which is the delivery pipe.
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.
9. Cement
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. Open pressure regulator kit.
Apply 2-3 wraps of Teflon™ 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.
11. Thread plug into opening to right of
pressure regulator outlet.
12. Complete all electrical connections as described on page 4.
13. Thread 3/4" male PVC adapter
into pressure regulator outlet.
16. TO PRIME: Remove
pressure regulator, put a
garden hose into the top
of the pump discharge
and fill and pump
with water until water
overflows from top of
pump. This may take several minutes. Put regulator back
on pump.

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. Seal the threaded
pipe joints with Teflon™ tape or Teflon™ based pipe joint
compound approved for use on PVC.

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. Using
crescent wrench, turn bolts on well
seal clockwise until rubber gaskets are
tight against the well casing and the
PVC pipes.
14. Thread tank tee into
pre-charged pressure tank.
Plug two outlets on tank tee
with two 1/4" plugs.
15. Thread boiler drain into
front of tank tee. Thread
3/4" male PVC adapter into inlet
side of tank tee. Connect to
household plumbing.

Sealing Pipe Joints
Use only Teflon™ tape or Teflon™ based joint compounds
for making all threaded connections to the pump itself. Do
not use pipe joint compounds on plastic pumps: they can
react with the plastic in pump components. Make sure that
all pipe joints in the suction pipe are air tight as well as
water tight. If the suction pipe can suck air, the pump will
not be able to pull water from the well.
