plumbing question for csv

[ps95]

Greetings! I recently purchased a 40 psi cycle stop valve which I would like to fit somehow near my well. How should I plumb this in so it would work effectively for my setup?   https://i.postimg.cc/T3zNpGbw/DSC-0057.jpg

Thank you for any help and suggestions.

Not much room outside the well.  To install it there you may need to go straight out a foot or so with the CSV, then double elbow back to the pipe going underground.  It the pump is set on plastic pipe you could also install the CSV125 in the well, just under the well seal.  If it is steel pipe you would need the SS version CSVS125.

Hi, Cary, and thank you for responding! I am very new at this, so I hope I don't sound too dumb; however, I have been reading and looking at the pictures your other customers have posted. I can't find it again for the life of me, but was it you that said don't install in a bind? I'm trying to find out what that exactly means. Presuming it doesn't refer to sharp angles, I was thinking about using a few 45 elbows to 'wrap' it around the well housing so that when I put the well house back on, I won't hit any of the plumbing. The thing is heavy too so I want to do it as compactly as possible without rendering the CSV useless or leading to other problems.

If you have a tight fit and then tighten a union it can pull on the CSV.  If the pipe in the ditch after the CSV settles and drops, it can put the CSV in a bind by bending it.  The CSV1A is much stronger and impossible to plumb in a bind.  It is also much shorter and you would not have to double elbow around.  The CSV1A would just fit on the pipe before it goes underground.
