Note: Installed length differs slightly from delivered length (e.g. 6m installed = 5.92m delivered).
Installation procedure
Our borehole pipe system is designed for efficient and secure installation.
Step-by-Step Overview
- Install the pipe with the male adapter facing upwards and the female adapter facing downwards
- Clamp the male adapter pipe securely
- Fit and lift the female pipe onto the male pipe
- Allow the system to lock into place via the polished spring mechanism
System Advantages
- Open-bottom adapter allows complete water drainage
- Prevents water accumulation at connection points
- Ensures water flows from male to female connection for a secure seal
- Prevents silting and blockages in long-term installations
- Minimises corrosion and bacterial growth
This innovative design ensures a longer lifespan and reduced maintenance for borehole pump systems in Johannesburg.
