Hello,
I have a well with an old style pitless adapter that I am trying to re-install and I can't seem to get it set right in the correct spot to mate up with the plumbing to the house.
It is not the shoe type where the wedge slides into the shoe. It's similar to the type that has the springloaded cam but instead it has a wedge on the side opposite the 'to-house plumbing' and a square headed bolt that when turned either tightens or loosens the pitless adapter by pressing against the opposite side of the well casing.
My trouble is getting back in. From what I've read....the spring loaded ones snap into place when you hit the right spot. With this one....can't find any positive feeling to know that I'm in the hole so after I tighten the bolt on the wedge it still leaks. There's a set screw in the outside of the well casing that looks like it marks the direction but I'm pulling my Tee up and down and can't seem to hit the spot.
Any ideas or suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
Respectfully,
Brian
