Installation
Process C. 1. Install a shallow well pump
DRAINING FOR SERVICING OR FOR WINTER
The pump should be drained before it is disconnected for
servicing or if it is in danger of freezing. To drain:
• Remove drain plug from bottom of pump case.
• Remove discharge tee to vent the pump.
• Drain all piping to a point 3 feet (1 meter) below
ground level.
General Materials Required
• One can PVC cement (read instructions carefully)
• One can thread compound (read instructions carefully)
• One 1-1/4" foot valve
• Two male 1-1/4" PVC adapters
• Enough rigid 1-1/4" PVC pipe and couplings to reach from
bottom of well to pump
• One 4" well seal with vent plug
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
1. Thread 1-1/4" male PVC adapter
into foot valve. Hand tighten,
then tighten 1/4 turn with
crescent wrench.
2. Subtract four feet from the depth
of your well (see page 2 "Finding
the Depth of Your Well"). 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.

• One 1-1/4" PVC elbow

• Enough rigid 1" PVC pipe to reach from pump to pressure
tank to service line
• One female 1" PVC adapter

Tools needed for all pump installations
Pipe wrench, pipe clamp, crescent wrench, slot screwdriver,
24-tooth hacksaw, knife or round file.
3. Cement as many couplings and
sections of rigid PVC pipe 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.
