Piping Connections

Well Piping to Pump
1. Install a pressure gauge into the ½-inch NPT hole on the front of the casing, opposite the pressure
switch.
IMPORTANT: For driven wells, have an electrician replace the pressure switch with a low pres-
sure cut-off.
• A pressure gauge is not necessary for all applications. Install if included or desired.
2. Attach a 1¼-inch male PVC adapter to the top hole in pump casing.
IMPORTANT: Do not over-tighten.
3. Install piping between the pump and the well piping.
Pump to Tank and Service Line
Risk of bodily injury, property damage, or damage to system by pressurized
fluids.
• Do not install this product if incoming water pressure is greater than 75 psi. Serious damage to
plumbing can occur.
• A pressure relief valve (not included) rated to handle full pump flow at 75 psi should be installed in
the system to prevent personal injury or property damage.
Risk of damage to pump or other equipment.
• Do not apply power to the system until the pump is primed. Do not run the pump dry, which can
cause overheating and damage the impeller and seals. This will void the warranty.
• Do not use open-style wrenches to loosen plugs. Plugs may become damaged and difficult to
remove.
• Red Lion is not responsible for personal injury or property damage due to improper installation.
1. Turn off the main water supply and the power at the main breaker.
2. Open a nearby faucet to release the water pressure in the system. Once all water and pressure is
released, turn off the faucet.
3. Modify the existing plumbing as required to allow for installation of the pump system.
IMPORTANT: Never install a check valve between the pump and the tank.
• The pump suction is 1¼ inch FNPT and the discharge is 1 inch FNPT fittings. Depending on the
size of the piping, adapters may need to be installed.
• Seal and tighten the threads of the suction and discharge openings on the pump with PTFE
tape or thread compound. Do not over-tighten the connections as this could crack the fittings.
• Make sure all joints are airtight as even a pinhole can prevent proper operation of the pump.
• Ensure the piping is as short and direct as possible.
• Refer to "Typical Installations" on page 3
IMPORTANT: Ensure any burrs or shavings from cutting the pipes are completely removed to
prevent damage to the pump.
