The pumps are all recommended for inground lawn sprinkler
applications. The pumps with higher horsepower provide
greater pumping capacity.
General materials required
• One can PVC cement (read instructions carefully)
• One can thread compound (read instructions carefully)
• One 1-1/2" foot valve
• Three male 1-1/2" PVC adapters
• Enough rigid 1-1/2" PVC pipe and couplings to reach from
bottom of well to pump.
• One 1-1/2" well seal
• One 1-1/2" PVC elbow
• One 1-1/2" discharge tee
• One 1-1/2" pipe plug
• Enough rigid 1-1/2" PVC pipe to reach from pump to
service line.

1. Thread 1-1/2" male PVC adapter
into foot valve. Hand tighten,
then tighten 1/4 turn with
wrench.
2. The total length of rigid PVC pipe
and couplings to cement onto
the 1-1/2" male PVC adapter is
equal to the operating depth (See
Determine Operating Depth).
Cement one section of rigid PVC
pipe to the PVC adapter which is
connected to the foot valve, then
lower the whole assembly into the
well, foot valve first. Firmly clamp
the end of the rigid PVC pipe
with a pipe clamp to prevent the
assembly from sliding further into
the well.
