Installation
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.
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.
Seal the threaded pipe joints with PTFE tape or
PTFE-based pipe joint compound approved for use
on PVC.
9. Cement

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 PTFE 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 in pump housing,
if present.

WELL
SEAL
Sealing Pipe Joints
Use only PTFE pipe thread sealant tape or PTFE-
based pipe joint compound for making all threaded
connections to the pump itself. Do not use pipe joint
WELL SEAL
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
1-1/4" PVC
tight. If the suction pipe can suck air, the pump will not

be able to pull water from the well.

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
PRESSURE
several minutes. Put regulator back on pump.

17. Cement as many sections and couplings of rigid 3/4"
PVC pipe needed to connect the 3/4" PVC adapter
in the discharge tee to the 3/4" male adapter on the
tank tee inlet. Set pressure in the diaphragm pressure
tank to 2 pounds less than the cut-in pressure of the
pump. The cut-in pressure of these pumps is factory
preset to 30 PSI. If this cut-in setting has not been
changed, then the diaphragm pressure tank should
be set to 28 PSI. Total installation should look like
the drawing on next page.
