I agree with Bob-O, no torque arrestor is needed. We've hung small
submersibles in hand dug wells 5 ft in diameter. You can actually hang
several pumps, as long as you keep them from knocking into each other on
installation. The pump does not move around like you might think,
something is wrong if it is banging into the casing on start up.

No problem with the smaller pump. Can't do it the other way 'round
anyway! While there is no problem with using a torque arrestor, it
just isn't necessary with an SQ Flex as the pump "soft" starts.

Hello wrenches,
Is there any problem to putting a small diameter pump in a larger well
casing? Specifically, I want to put a 6 SQF-2 in a 4" casing. I'm
going to put a torque arrestor on it to help keep it from banging
around. I don't see a problem with this but haven't done many of
these so I'd like to avoid any problems.
Thanks
