Process C, continued.
5. Cement as many couplings and
sections of rigid PVC pipe on both
the pressure and delivery sides as it
takes to equal the depth of your we[[
minus four feet, then firmly damp the
assembly with a pipe clamp to prevent
the assembly from sliding down into
the we[[. Be sure to keep track of
which pipe is the pressure pipe and
which is the delivery pipe.

Remove pipe clamp and slide well
seal over PVC pipes and onto well
casing. DO NOT let assembly slide
down into well. Position assembly
so that twelve inches of PVC pipes
protrude from we[[ sea[. Using
crescent wrench, turn bolts on we[[
sea[ clockwise until rubber gaskets are
tight against the we[[ casing and the
PVC pipes.

Sealing Pipe joints
Use only Teflon v'_ tape or Teflon _ based joint compounds
for making all threaded connections to the pump itself. Do
not use pipe ioint compounds on plastic pumps: they can
react with the plastic in pump components. 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 puff water hem the well.
13. Thread 3/4" male PVC adapter
into pressure regulator outlet.
