1. Thread 1-1/4 in. male PVC adaptor (sold
separately) into foot valve (sold separately).
Hand tighten, then tighten 1/4 turn with
crescent wrench (not included).
2. Subtract 4 ft. from the depth of the well.
This is the total length of rigid PVC pipe and
couplings (sold separately) to cement onto the
1-1/4 in. male PVC adaptor. Cement one
section of rigid PVC pipe to the PVC adaptor
that is connected to the foot valve, then lower
the whole assembly into the well, foot valve
first.
3. Cement as many couplings and sections of
rigid PVC pipe as it takes to equal the depth
of your well minus 4 ft., then firmly clamp
the assembly with a pipe clamp (sold
separately) to prevent the assembly from
sliding down into the well.
4. Remove pipe clamp and slide well seal (sold
separately) over rigid PVC pipe and onto well
casing (sold separately). Position assembly
so that 12 in. of rigid PVC pipe protrudes
from well seal. Alternately turn bolts on well
seal counterclockwise until rubber gaskets are
tight against well casing and rigid PVC pipe.
