bottom of well to pump
•
One 1-1/4" PVC elbow
•
One discharge tee
•
One pressure gauge
•
One male 1" PVC adapter
•
Enough rigid 1" PVC pipe to reach from pump to pressure
tank to service line
•
One check valve
•
One female 1" PVC adapter
•
One 1" tank cross (for diaphragm tanks)

PROCESS C. Installation
REMINDER: ALL JOINTS AND CONNECTIONS MUST BE AIRTIGHT. A SINGLE PINHOLE
LEAK WILL PREVENT THE PROPER OPERATION OF THE PUMP. USE THREAD COMPOUND
ON ALL THREADED CONNECTIONS UNLESS SPECIFIED OTHERWISE.
Steps 1-6 for Shallow Well Jet Pump Priming

Hand tighten, then tighten
1/4 turn with crescent
wrench.
Subtract four feet from the depth
STEP
of your well (see "Finding the
2
Depth of Your Well" on page
#3). This is the total length of
rigid PVC pipe and couplings
to cement onto the 1-1/4" male
PVC adapter. 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 down into
the well.
PROCESS B. 1. Install a shallow well pump (3139, 3134, 3125, 3124)
Additonal Materials required for the 3121, 3105, 3114
Convertible only
One ejector kit includes ejector, 2 venturi tube, 1 nozzle, 1 gasket
and 2 bolts and washers
Tools needed for all pump installations
Pipe wrench, pipe clamp, crescent wrench, slotted screwdriver,
24-tooth hacksaw, knife or round file.
Cement as many couplings

as it takes to equal the depth
of your well minus four feet,
then firmly clamp the assembly
with a pipe clamp to prevent
the assembly from sliding
down into the well.
