DRIVEN POINT INSTALLATION
Step 1. Connect suction pipe to drive point (Fig. 2). Keep horizontal pipe
Gate
valve
run as short as possible. Use Teflon tape on male pipe threads.
Multiple well points may be necessary to provide sufficient water to
pump.

heads
Step 2. Install check valve in horizontal pipe. Flow arrow on check valve
must point toward pump.

HORIZONTAL PIPING FROM WELL TO PUMP
Step 1. Pump performance will be decreased if less that 1-1/2" pipe is used
as suction pipe.
Step 2. To aid priming on well point installations, install line check valve.
Be sure check valve flow arrow points toward pump.
DISCHARGE PIPE SIZES
Discharge pipe size should be increased to reduce pressure losses caused
by friction on long pipe runs.
• Up to 100' (30.5 m) run: Same size as pump discharge port (1" NPT).
• 100' - 300' (30.5 - 91.4 m) run: Increase one pipe size (1-1/4" NPT).
• 300' - 600' (91.4 - 182.9 m) run: Increase two pipe sizes (1-1/2" NPT).
LAWN SPRINKLING APPLICATION
This pump is designed for lawn sprinkling. Delivers plenty of water at full
sprinkler pressure. Pumps from pond, cistern or well points.
Pump discharge can be divided to supply 4 or more sprinkler systems.
Do not use in booster pump applications.
PUMP/PIPING INSTALLATION
If turning pump on and off by pressure, a pressure switch and tank are
required. For proper installation and operation instructions call Customer
Service.
Use rigid pipe. Do not use hose or plastic tubing. See "Well Pipe
Installation" for more information.
NOTICE: Use only Teflon tape or Teflon based joint compounds for making
all threaded connections to the pump itself. Do not use pipe joint com-
pounds on plastic pumps: they can react with the plastic in pump compo-
nents. Make sure that all pipe joints in the suction pipe are air tight as well
as water tight. If the suction pipe can suck air, the pump will not be able to
pull water from the well.
Step 1. Bolt pump to solid, level foundation.
Step 2. Support all piping connected to pump.
Step 3. Wrap 1-1/2 to 2 layers of Teflon tape clockwise (as you face end of
pipe) on all male threads being attached to pump.
Step 4. Tighten joints hand tight plus 1-1/2 turns. Do not overtighten.
Step 5. Replace prime plug with pressure gauge. This will aid in sizing
zones, troubleshooting, and following pump performance chart.
NOTICE: Install pump as close to well head as possible. Long piping runs
and many fittings create friction and reduce flow.
NOTICE: For long horizontal pipe runs, install a priming tee between
check valve and well head (Fig. 1). For driven point installations, install
check valve. Be sure that check valve flow arrow points toward pump.
