How do I properly install my Pitless Adapter?
There are 6 basic steps to follow to properly install a single pipe "Slide Type" Pitless Adapter for submersible pump applications.
Single pipe, slide type Pitless adapters are the most common type and they are mainly used for submersible pump installations but can also be used for shallow well jet pump systems where a single suction line is lowered into the well with a foot valve attached. A shallow well jet system is limited to a 25 foot depth well or 30 feet if there is ideal conditions at sea level.
The picture below shows all of the components of a single pipe Pitless adapter.
