- Full diameter access to well - no obstructions inside well that may need to be removed before working on well, common problem to pitless adapters, simple and fast installation
- Large spud gasket seal on discharge ell assures watertight seal around hole cut in casing, and separates discharge elbow and casing, to eliminate corrosion that can make removal difficult, insures seal to inside of casing
