PUMP INSTALLATION FOR WELL AND SURFACE WATER
1. Mount pump on a solid foundation as close to the
water source as possible. (Fig. 24)
2. Glue enough sections of pipe to connect the
2 in. suction line from the well or lake (done in
the well preparation section) to reach the 2 in.
suction male union (done in the pump preparation
section.)
CAUTION: Support the 2 in suction pipe
from the well or lake to the suction port to prevent
sagging. Sagging will create air pockets within the
pipe which will prevent the pump from priming and
operating correctly. (Fig. 23)
3. Glue female 2 in. union to the end of suction pipe
leading from the water source.
4. Connect the 2 in. union together to complete the
suction line to the pump.
5. Glue a 6 in. piece of 1-1/2 in. pipe to the female
portion of the 1-1/2 in. union.
6. Glue 1-1/2 in. ball valve to the other end of the 6
in piece of pipe. (Fig. 25)
7. Connect the 1-1/2 in. discharge pipe to the
sprinkler system by gluing in additional sections of
pipe as needed.
8. Connect union to ensure proper t. Do not tighten.
(Fig. 26)
CAUTION: Do not glue union together.
