Valveman: What is that White/Red object attached in the bottom of the 'Stack' in/on your Avatar, please? Is it a connecting, threaded inlet, or
valve? I'm gathering up pieces to connect from the top of my drop pipe to the "Tee" attached to my elderly 29 yr old, 42 gallon pressure tank. Still
can't decide whether to sleeve, or not to sleeve, and whether I should "hang" my new pump 2-3 ft higher than it was previously set at.
Some yrs back, I bought a little propane tank & torch kit, that I need to 'heat shrink' the rubber sealing 'shrink wraps' around the electrical connections that will join the pump wires to the power supply line, but I can't find it. To substitute "heat" to shrink the wraps around the elec connections; should I: A) use a hair dryer, or, B) use my propane pear burner torch kit instead? We got another round of rains here this last week, 3-5 inches, and I'm really doubly blessed the weather has enabled me to put off as long as possible, having to get my DIY water pump project completed. We've had 22" of rain already this yr, and our area's annual avg rain total is 24". So, we're green green green, for almost being August, with skeeters that would make east & south Tx envious.
Also picked up a 6-8 inch (length) 1" PVC "compression sleeve" in hopes of possibly using it in between where the drop pipe comes up above my
well cap, connecting the 18-24" span over to connect up to my "Tee" from the pressure tank.
PS: Went thru Tuscola, and passed "The Home Place" at least ten times in July, but was rushing to & from the jobsite, with a turkey sandwich in my lunch box, with no time to eat for the first time there. Someday though.........
