Why would I want to pull her out? I am trying to put her IN.

Correction: Frost line here (according to building code) is 30".

A couple other things:

Only use brass fitting, i.e male adapters, check valves. Galvanized fitting are cheaper but they rust unless you use a dielectric union where you hook onto the pitless adapter.

Use high quality stainless steel hose clamps to attach the pipe (assuming you are using black plastic well pipe) to the male adapters. I always use two clamps on each adapter and it has never failed me. Another trick I have learned over the years is to heat up the end of the pipe with a torch or heatgun to make the fitting slide onto the pipe all the way. Trust me on this one it makes it much easier. I would be happy to explain any process of the installation in detail, just ask.

P.S.
oh yeah and an additional comment 2 what our new friend said bout galvanized clamps....The process of galvanizing uses a chemical called (zinc chromate ) which is not only not impervious to long term moisture but also leaches off and causes contaminants that are literally poisonous.....ie: you ask any of the guys that have a clue about their welding here on tbn and they ( i promise you grind galv. metal b4 they weld as the fumes are so very toxic!!!!!!!)

Lots of welders will not do galvanized because of the fumes.

I wouldn't worry at all about welding galvanized as long as I'm outdoors with a good breeze blowing. /forums/images/graemlins/wink.gif /forums/images/graemlins/laugh.gif
