Copeland TA48 Submersible Pump Torque Arrestor Pvc

Product Description

The COPELAND TA48 is a two-piece PVC torque arrestor designed for submersible pump installations. It controls the rotational torque and lateral movement that a submersible pump generates during startup and shutdown, protecting the drop pipe, wiring, and well casing from damage over time. Constructed from lead-free PVC material and certified to NSF/ANSI 372 and the IAPMO applicable standard, the TA48 ships with two all-stainless steel clamps for a secure, corrosion-resistant installation. This is a professional-grade well service component installed by licensed pump contractors and plumbers.

The TA48 is suited for residential and light commercial submersible pump applications in drilled wells. It mounts around the drop pipe at designated intervals to prevent the pump from spinning or drifting within the well casing. The two-piece split design allows it to be installed without threading or disassembling the pipe string, making it practical for both new installations and service calls. The included stainless steel clamps secure the arrestor firmly to the pipe for long-term performance in wet, underground environments.

Installation Notes

A licensed pump contractor or plumber should install this torque arrestor in accordance with local plumbing codes and well construction standards. Before servicing any submersible pump system, disconnect electrical power at the control box and relieve any pressure in the system. Install the arrestor at intervals recommended by the pump manufacturer along the drop pipe, and tighten the stainless steel clamps securely without over-torquing to avoid cracking the PVC body. Consult the International Plumbing Code (IPC) and local well construction regulations for spacing and installation requirements.
