ELECTRICAL HOOKUP AT THE PUMP
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 (sold separately) 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.
