Rope Hanger Installation

Rope Hangers are a unique item, invented by Mel Boshart, and are only available thru Boshart Industries. They were designed to meet the need of well system installers looking for an easier method of attaching the safety rope securely to the well casing at the well head, rather than fastening the safety rope to other internal components.  Other components include parts such as an easy tie insert adapter which is threaded into the Pitless adapter. The rope hanger is installed on the top of the well casing and does not rely on the structural strength of any other well component. It also allows the unobstructed installation of a well cap over the rope hanger onto the well casing. The rope hanger is easily removed from the well and set aside when the pump is being pulled from the well for service or replacement.

Installation is easy, the steps are as follows:

1# - Install the lower ring assembly of your well cap following the manufacturer's installation instructions. The top of the cap's lower ring assembly should be flush or level with the top edge of the well casing.

#2 – Set the STRH-6 on top of the well casing. The profile of the rope hanger will center it in the well casing. There is no drilling or taping required.

#3 - Affix the safety rope by looping it through the two holes through the center support bar of the rope hanger and tie off with a secure knot.

#4 – Install the top cover of the well caps. The well cap cover should have ample clearance to freely fit over the rope hanger and make a positive seal to the rubber gasket or O-ring in the lower ring assembly.

Boshart's rope is available in different lengths and colors.

Boshart also offers insert fittings with easy tie rope lugs to tie off the safety rope at the submersible pump or the Pitless Adapter.
