install a line
check
valve as shown
in Figure 2. Be sure check
valve
flow arrow
points
toward
pump.
DISCHARGE
PIPE
SIZES
1. If increasing
discharge
pipe size, install reducer
in pump
discharge
tapping.
Do not increase
pipe size by stages.
2. When the pump
is set away from the points
of water use,
the discharge
pipe
size should
be increased
to reduce
pressure
losses caused
by friction.
• Up to 100' run: Same size as pump
discharge
tapping.
• 100' to 300' run: Increase
one pipe size.
• 300' to 600' run: Increase
two pipe sizes.

INSTALLATION
NOTICE:
Use Teflon
tape supplied
with the pump
for mak-
ing all threaded
connections
to the pump
itself. Do not use
pipe
joint compounds
on the pump:
they can react with
the plastic
in the pump
components.
1. Bolt pump
to solid, level foundation.
2. Support
all piping
connected
to the pump.
3. Wrap 1-1/2 to two layers of Teflon tape clockwise
(as you
face end of pipe)
on all male threads
being
attached
to
pump.
4. Tighten joints hand
tight plus 1-1/2 turns. Do not
over-
tighten.
NOTICE:
Install pump
as close to water
source
as possible.
Long piping
runs
and many fittings
create
friction
and re-
duce flow.
Use schedule
80 or iron pipe. See "Well Pipe Installation"
for
more information.
