INSTALLATION & OPERATION
INSTALL A DEEP WELL PUMP (FP4542, FP4562)
The 1 HP FP4562 is recommended for wells deeper than
25 feet but less than 70 feet. However, the 1/2 HP FP4542 pump
may also be used for depths less than 70 feet.
GENERAL MATERIALS NEEDED FOR EITHER OF THE
CONVERTIBLE PUMPS:
One can PVC cement (read instructions carefully)
One can thread compound (read instructions carefully)
Two 1" female PVC adapters
Enough rigid 1-1/4" PVC pipe and couplings to reach from
operating depth to pump (delivery pipe)
One 1-1/4" PVC elbow
One 1-1/4" male PVC adapter
One pressure regulator kit (see REPAIR PARTS KIT)
One pressure gauge
Two male 1" PVC adapters
Enough rigid 1" PVC pipe to reach from pump to pressure
tank to service line
Tank tee (for pre-charge pressure tanks)
Two 1/4" plugs
One 1/2" drain cock
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
TO INSTALL THE FP4542 AND FP4562 CONVERTIBLE:
1.
Thread 1-1/4" close nipple into foot
valve. Thread the other end of 1-1/4"
close nipple into bottom of ejector.
Hand tighten, then tighten 1/4 turn
with wrench.
2.
The ejector has two holes in the top
of it. Thread deep well venturi tube
into larger hole on top of the nozzle
until snug. Thread 1" x 5" nipple into
smaller hole. Only hand tighten
venturi tube. Hand tighten nipple 1/4
turn with wrench.

One 1-1/4" foot valve
One 1-1/4" close nipple
One ejector kit (see REPAIR PARTS KIT)
One 1" x 5" nipple
One 1-1/4" female adapter
One well seal
Enough rigid 1" PVC pipe and couplings to reach from
operating depth to pump (pressure pipe)
One 1" PVC elbow
Two 1-1/4" male PVC adapters
One 1" x 4" nipple
Thread a 1-1/4" male PVC adapter
over the venturi tube and into
ejector. Thread a 1" female PVC
adapter onto the 1" x 5" nipple.
Hand tighten adapters 1/4 turn
with wrench.
The total length of PVC pipe and
couplings to cement onto both
1-1/4" male and 1" female PVC
adapters is equal to the operating
depth (See Determine Operating
Depth). Cement a section of PVC
pipe to each adapter, then lower
the whole assembly into the well,
foot valve first. Firmly clamp the
end of the PVC pipes with a pipe clamp to
prevent the assembly from sliding down into well.
