Hello all,
First time attempt at anything well related here in southern oregon. Here are my stats for the well...
180ft well
6" steel casing down to 73ft
4" pvc liner to 180ft
How do you guys go about installation of a pitless adaptor with a pvc casing and a metal casing? Just "pinch" or push the 4" liner to the casing wall and it seals via pitless adaptor gasket? My gut tells me noooooo. Lol
Or is there a special pitless adaptor that will accommodate holes in both the casing and liner?
And lastly, do well drillers generally install pitless adaptors during the job? Took a peek with a flashlight and didn't see an adaptor? They laid a bunch of bentonite chips and not looking forward to digging those out. County planning told me frost level is only 12-18" so it won't be too bad I hope!
Thanks in advance
