LAWN SPRINKLER PUMP INSTALLATION
The R7L, R10L, R15L, and R20L pumps are all recommended for
inground lawn sprinkler applications. The pumps with higher
horsepower provide greater pumping capacity. Materials with part
numbers are quality WATER ACE PUMP CO. parts.
General Materials
• One can PVC cement (read instructions carefully)
• One can thread compound (read instructions carefully)
• One 1-1/2" Foot Valve RFV-15
• Three male 1-1/2" PVC Adapters
• Enough rigid 1-1/2" PVC pipe and couplings to reach from
bottom of well to pump
• One 1-1/2" well seal
• One 1-1/2" PVC Elbow
• One 1-1/2" Discharge Tee RDT-15
• One 1-1/2" Pipe Plug
• Enough rigid 1-1/2" PVC pipe to reach from pump to service line
STEP
1
Thread 1-1/2" male PVC adapter into Foot Valve RFV-15.
Hand tighten, then tighten 1/4 turn with wrench.
STEP
2
Subtract four feet from the depth of your well (see
"Finding the Depth of Your Well" on page 2). This is the
total length of rigid PVC pipe and couplings to cement
onto the 1-1/2" male PVC adapter. Cement one section of
rigid PVC pipe to the PVC adapter that is connected to the
foot valve, then lower the whole assembly into the well,
foot valve first. Firmly clamp the end of the rigid PVC pipe
with a pipe clamp to prevent the assembly from sliding
down into the well.
STEP
3
Cement as many couplings and sections of rigid PVC pipe
as it takes to equal the depth of your well minus four
feet, then firmly clamp the assembly with a pipe clamp
to prevent the assembly from sliding down into the well.

In addition to General Materials, for Well Pumps only
• Enough galvanized 1-1/2" pipe and couplings to reach from
bottom of well to one foot above ground level
• One 1-1/2" galvanized Elbow
• One 1-1/2" galvanized Nipple
• One 1-1/2" Check Valve RCV-15
• One 1-1/2" Male PVC Adapter
Tools needed for all pump installations
Pipe wrench, pipe clamp, crescent wrench, slot screwdriver,
24-tooth hacksaw, knife or round file
REMINDER: ALL JOINTS AND CONNECTIONS MUST BE AIRTIGHT.
A SINGLE PINHOLE LEAK WILL PREVENT THE PROPER OPERATION
OF THE PUMP. USE THREAD COMPOUND ON ALL THREADED
CONNECTIONS UNLESS SPECIFIED OTHERWISE.
