Installation
WIRE SPLICING
Splice wire to motor leads. Use only
copper wire for connections to
pump/motor assembly and control box.
Heat shrink splice instructions (wire
sizes No. 14, 12 and 10 AWG [2, 3 and
5mm
]):

1. Remove 3/8" (9.5 mm) insulation
from ends of motor leads and
power supply wires.
2. Place heat shrink tubing over motor
leads. Position tubing between
power supply and motor.
3. Match colors of supply wires with
colors of motor leads.
4. Insert supply wire and lead ends
into butt connector and crimp (see
Figures 2 and 3). Match colors of
supply wires with colors of motor
leads. Check lead connections by
gently pulling on them.

5. Center tubing over butt connector
and apply heat evenly with torch
(match or lighter will not supply
enough heat).
Keep torch moving.
NOTICE
Too much concen-
trated heat may damage tubing (see
Figure 4).

12, and 10 AWG [2, 3, and 5 mm
1. With wire cutting tool, cut off
motor leads. Stagger lead and wire
length so that second lead is 4"
(101.6 mm) longer than first lead
and third lead is 4" (101.6 mm)
longer than second.
2. With wire cutting tool, cut off wire
ends. Match colors and lengths of
wires between power supply and
motor.
3. With wire stripping tool, trim insu-
lation back 1/2" (12.7 mm) from
power supply wire and motor lead
ends.
4. Unscrew plastic caps from insula-
tors. Place a cap and neoprene gas-
ket sleeve on each wire to be
spliced (see Figure 5).

5. Slide insulator body onto one wire
end (Figure 5).
6. Insert wire end into butt connector
and crimp. Match wire colors
between power supply and motor
(see Figure 6).

7. Center insulator body over splice
and slide gasket sleeves into body
as far as they will go. Screw caps
onto insulator body (Figure 7) and
tighten by hand for a strong,
waterproof splice.

Deep Well Submersible Pump
POWER SUPPLY WIRE INSTALLATION
1. To test pump, connect it to proper
power supply for a short amount of
time (no more than 30 seconds).
Power supply frequency and
voltage must be within 10% of
frequency and voltage shown
on product nameplate.
2. Fasten power supply wire leads to
pump discharge block. Then fasten
leads to plastic pipe within 6" (150
mm) of discharge block. Use center-
ing guides to prevent wire and pipe
from rubbing well casing.
3. Connect copper grounding wire to
motor bracket. Grounding wire
must have a diameter at least that
of wires supplying current to motor.
Consult National Electrical Code or
Canadian Electrical Code, as well as
local code, for grounding informa-
tion and safety guidelines.
4. Use only submersible power supply
wires supplied by pump manufac-
turer. When lowering pump into
well, secure supply wires to dis-
charge pipe at 10 ft. (3,1 m) inter-
vals with Scotch
®
#33 electrical tape.
Take care not to damage pump
wires.
To avoid dropping
NOTICE
pump down well or
damaging wires or splices, NEVER
allow pump wires to support weight of
pump.
PUMP INSTALLATION
1. If standard air-over-water pressure
tank is used, install two bleeder ori-
fices about 2 ft. (0.6 m) apart as
shown in Figure 10. Orifices will
automatically charge the tank with
air. See Figure 10 to help determine
orifice location.
NOTE: If precharged tank is used, DO
NOT install bleeder orifices. If pump
and pre-charged tank are replacing a
standard tank system, remove bleeder
orifices before installing pump in well.
2. To prevent losing pump down the
well, connect safety rope strong
enough to support pump and drop
pipe (minimum 5/16" [8 mm] twist-
ed polypropylene or pronila rope)
to eyelet on pump discharge. Tie off
