I've never done anything like this before but I just changed the point on my 13' shallow well. I tightened a pipe cap on the 1st 5' section of pipe and after pounding it in with a sledge hammer, I noticed that the cap was cocked. It won't come off and so I'm assuming the threads are going to be trashed. My question is, once I get the cap off and the threads right and start pounding the next section of pipe in, if I put a coupling on first, then a nipple with a cap on it, would that protect the threads better? Or is a pounder tool the only way to go?
Thanks,
Paul
