Pitless adapters are underground discharge units that mount into the water well casing down below the frost level. The piece that goes through the well casing secures with a rubber washer and nut on the outside of the casing. The inside of that unit is a receiver for the piece that comes up from your submersible pump.

The pipe going down to your submersible water pump in the well is connected to the bottom of the pitless adapter main body. This allows the water to make a elbow move from the pipe coming up, through the adapter and into your home through the underground distribution pipe. When setting your pump in the well, you will lower the inside piece down with another short piece of pipe. It will slide into the receiver on the piece attached through the well casing wall, and make a water tight connection.

Most people will use a 1" pitless adapter to set their submersible pump into the well. They reduce the 1 1/4" opening on the pump discharge to 1" with a hex bushing, then use 1" pipe for the well and distribution line into the house.
