package contents drawing. If any part is missing
or damaged, do not attempt to assemble
the product. Contact customer service for
replacement parts.
Estimated Installation Time: 2 hours.
Tools Required for Installation: Hacksaw,
screwdriver, pliers, pipe vise, pipe wrenches (2),
wire cutters, wire strippers/crimpers, adjustable
wrench (medium-large), Ohmmeter, propane
torch, knife or round file, small weight.
Materials Required for Installation:
Control box for 3-wire plus ground models
(see chart on page 6) Submersible pump cable,
power cable, pressure tank, shrink tube &
butt connectors, 1-1/4 in. check valve, torque
arrestor, hose clamps, pipe fittings, pitless
adaptor or well seal, pressure switch, pressure
gauge, pressure relief valve, tank cross, 1/4 in.
minimum safety rope, electrical tape,. You will
also need either enough 1-1/4 in. Schedule 80
PVC pipe to reach 20 ft. below the static level or
20 ft. below the drawdown level of your well,
or coiled poly pipe rated for 160 PSI. Poly pipe
cannot be used for installations any deeper than
200 ft.
Optional Materials: 1-1/4 in. male barbed

SUBMERSIBLE PUMP CABLE AND POWER
CABLE SELECTION
Check cable size against Submersible Wire Size
Chart on page 7. For 3-wire plus ground models,
motor and control box voltage must match.
Submersible power cable must be UL listed for
submersible pump applications. For Canadian
installations, type RWU, TWU, SGOW or SWOW
power supply cable is recommended. Cable is
selected for the maximum pump setting plus the
offset distance to the service entrance.
IMPORTANT: Use of wire sizes smaller than
those specified in the chart will cause low
starting voltage, may cause early pump failure
and will void the warranty. Larger wire sizes
may always be used for better economy of
operation. Be sure voltage at pressure switch or
fuse is between the following limits:
115V Rated - Between 104 & 127 volts
230V Rated - Between 210 & 250 volts
NOTE: A small AWG number, i.e. 10 Ga., is
larger in diameter than a large AWG number,
i.e. 14 Ga.
The National Electric Code (NEC 250-43)
requires a separate ground wire be run
down the well to the submersible pump and
connected to all exposed metal parts of the
pump and motor. Refer to the most recent
National Electric Code (NEC) Article 250
(grounding) for additional information.
NOTE: All wiring should be done by a qualified
electrician.
