Hitch-On Couplings

Well pits have been non compliant for decades as they provide direct pathways for contaminents to enter the groundwater system. Check your state or provincial regulations on the criteria for upgrading wells.


To aid in the ease of these well upgrades, Well Busters manufactures a device called the Hitch-On Coupling water well upgrade. This device allows upgrades to be completed in a much safer, cheaper, and time efficient manner, by eliminating the need for welding and allowing connections to be made to the exisiting casing!


This Hitch-On Coupling uses a food grade EPDM rubber that compresses to create a water and air tight seal when driven on using a slide hammer. Couplings come pre-installed for either single or double pitless adapters and in sizes to fit standard 5 and 6 inch well casings. A blank version of the coupling is also available for situations where no pit connections are required.


The Hitch-On Coupling can work in a two step process to further reduce the costs of well upgrades. By using a custom hand tight seal for the Hitch-On Coupling, you are able to install the coupling, attach the water lines, and return at a later date to complete the project. Couplings can be installed whenever service takes you into a well pit.
