Process C. 2. Install a deep well pump (RC5, RC10)
DEEP WELL PUMP INSTALLATION
(4" DIAMETER CASED WELL)
For wells over 25, but not exceeding 70 feet in depth, the 1 HP RC10
Convertible Deep Well Pump is recommended. However, the 1/2 HP
RC5 Deep Well Pump may also be used for depths not exceeding
70 feet. Materials with part numbers are quality Water Ace parts.
General materials needed for either the RC5 or RC10
convertible pumps
• One can PVC cement (read instructions carefully)
• One can thread compound (read instructions carefully)
• Two 1" female PVC adapters
• Enough rigid 1-1/4" PVC pipe and couplings to reach from
bottom of well to pump (delivery pipe)
• One 1-1/4" PVC elbow
• One 1-1/4" male PVC adapter
• One pressure regulator Kit RPR (includes fittings, tubing, and
1/4" plug)
• One pressure gauge RG-2
• Two male 3/4" PVC adapters
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.
TO INSTALL THE RC10 & RC5 CONVERTIBLE
Thread 1-1/4" close nipple
STEP
into foot valve RFV-12.

Thread the other end of
1-1/4" close nipple into
bottom of deep well ejector.
Hand tighten, then tighten
1/4 turn with pipe wrench.
The ejector has two holes in
STEP
the top of it. Thread deep

well venturi tube (part #2
– longer tube) into larger
hole until snug. Thread
1" x 5" nipple into smaller
hole. Only hand tighten
venturi tube. Hand tighten
nipple 1/4 turn with pipe/
crescent wrench.
• Enough rigid 3/4" PVC pipe to reach from pump to pressure
tank to service line
• Tank tee RTT1-LF (for diaphragm pressure tanks)
• Two 1/4" plugs
• One 1/2" drain cock
In addition to General Materials for RC10 & RC5
• One 1-1/4" foot valve RFV-12
• One 1-1/4" close nipple
• One R-E520-100 ejector
• One 1" x 5" nipple
• One 1-1/4" female adapter
• One well seal RWS4-1012
• Enough rigid 1" PVC pipe and couplings to reach from
bottom of well to pump (pressure pipe)
• One 1" PVC elbow
• Two 1-1/4" male PVC adapters
• One 1" x 4" nipple
Thread a 1-1/4" male PVC adapter
STEP
over the venturi tube and into

ejector. Thread a 1" female PVC
adapter onto the 1" x 5" nipple.
Hand tighten adapters 1/4 turn

total length of PVC pipe and
couplings to cement onto both
1-1/4" male and 1" female PVC
1" X 5"
adapters. Cement a section of
NIPPLE
PVC pipe to each adapter, then
lower the whole assembly into
the well, foot valve first. Firmly clamp the end of the
VENTURI
PVC pipes with a pipe clamp to prevent the assembly
