Pumpline Application

Pumpline is used for drop pipes on jet or submersible type pumps. Pumpline has been used successfully in all types of well systems. Maximum depths shown on table below are conservative. If pumps exceed 1/2 h.p. or depth exceeds 100 feet a torque arrestor should be used.

The graph below lists recommended depths at various shut off pressures. The limiting factor is the total pressure developed in the pipe. This is determined by adding the tank pressure and the head (psi).

Maximum Tank Shut-off Pressure	Maximum Depth Setting
Maximum Tank Shut-off Pressure	Class 150	Class 200
40 PSI	275 Feet	370 Feet
60 PSI	229 Feet	323 Feet
80 PSI	182 Feet	277 Feet
100 PSI	136 Feet	230 Feet

Installation

Pumpline is normally supplied with fittings attched for on-site joining by threading together by hand using Teflon tape. Do not use other pipe "dope" unless approved for ABS plastic materials.
DO NOT USE SOLVENT CEMENT ON THREADS.
Consult pump suppliers for recommendations regarding location of bleeder tee. It is good practice to lower submersible pumps using inexpensive polypropylene rope tied to the neck of the pump. This is left attached to the well seal for use when drawing the pump for service. Weight of submersible pump should not exceed 100 lbs.
