both the pressure and delivery
sides 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. Be sure to keep track of
which pipe is the pressure pipe
and which is the delivery pipe.
Remove pipe clamp and slide

male adapter to the 1" and 1-1/4" PVC elbows.
Connect check valve to delivery pipe about 18-24
STEP
inches from ejector end.

Open pressure regulator kit
STEP
(purchased separately). With
10
pipe wrench, thread the pressure
regulator into 1" discharge at top
