Pipe And Fittings
Use galvanized steel or NSF PW Schedule 40
PVC pipe and fittings. This material is designed
for water pressure and will seal against air
and water under pressure. Do Not Use: DWV
fittings, as these are designed for drains without
pressure and will not seal properly.
CAUTION: The entire system must be
air and water tight for efficient operation and to
maintain prime.
Wire Size:
The wire size is determined by the distance
from the breaker box to the pump motor, and
the horsepower rating of the motor. See the wire
chart in PUMP ELECTRICAL INSTRUCTIONS
for proper wire size.
PUMP PREPARATION FOR WELL AND SURFACE WATER
CAUTION: Dry-fit entire assembly to ensure proper fit before gluing or taping parts.
CAUTION: Follow all proper gluing procedures as specified by the glue manufacturer. Always glue
in a vertical direction whenever possible to prevent glue from dripping inside pipe or fittings.
CAUTION: Use thread tape and a thread paste compound on all male threads except for the
unions. Tighten securely with a wrench and add another 1/4 turn to ensure proper seal.
