splashed, sprayed, or dripped onto it. Place the pump in an area where there is no
danger of ingress of water.
DESCRIPTION
The Little Giant EC-OP is an automatic condensate removal system, removing the water
that drips from a split-system air conditioner evaporative coil when gravity drainage
is not possible. Even where gravity drainage is possible, the EC-OP may be a better
choice, allowing the freedom to route the drain line to where you want it and eliminating
the worries of a clogged or air-locked drain line.
The EC-OP is suitable for most split-system A/C units up to 10KW, but the amount
of condensate produced by an air conditioner is dependent on the properties of the
inside and outside air and the characteristics of the air conditioner used. Check with
the air conditioner manufacturer for the amount of condensate that will be produced for
a given application.
This unit allows air handlers to be located away from water drains, because the
condensate can be pumped to a common drain a distance away. The EC-OP is to be
mounted below or beside the air handler. It operates automatically using a float/switch
device inside the water collection reservoir that turns the pump on when approximately
20mm of water collects in the reservoir, and turns the pump off when the reservoir
drains to approximately 15mm.
INSTALLATION PROCEDURES
Installing the EC-OP-K (pump, base plate, and wall cover) beneath a wall mount
air handler using the supplied template. NOTE: It is not necessary to remove the
pump from the base plate to perform this procedure.
1. Locate a suitable position for the base plate, under the air handler with access to a
knock-out or hole in the bottom of the air handler.
2. Place the supplied alignment template underneath the air handler so that the words
"Knockout Location, path for wires and tubing" are aligned with the access opening
of the air handler.
3. Mark the screw hole locations and remove the template. Using a level, ensure the
two mounting holes are level within +/- 10 degrees.
4. If using the supplied wall anchors, drill a 5mm hole 26mm deep at each point
marked on the wall, then insert an anchor fully into each hole. NOTE: The pump
is configured for right-side access. If installing for left-side access, pull the pump,
wires, and tubing straight out from the base plate, rotate the assembly, and re-route
the wires and tubing up through the left-hand hole in the top of the base plate.
5. Position the pump/base plate assembly beneath the air handler so that the pump's
electrical wires and tubing can pass into the air handler access openings, either
right-side or left-side. DO NOT ATTACH THE PUMP/BASE PLATE ASSEMBLY TO
THE WALL AT THIS POINT.
6. Insert the pump electrical wires and tubing into the air handler access opening.
7. Using the supplied screws, attach the pump/base plate assembly to the wall.

8. DISCHARGE TUBING: Route the clear, 100cm long, 4mm I.D. discharge tubing
through the air handler and to an inside drain, or along the refrigeration lines to an
outside drain. Use extra tubing, if necessary. Use the supplied 4mm to 6mm adapter
to connect to 1/4" braided tubing, if necessary. Do not extend the discharge tubing
more than 9m above the level of the pump. To prevent a siphoning effect, do not
extend the end of the discharge tubing more than 1m below the level of the pump.
Ensure that there are no kinks or breaks in the discharge tubing.
9. VENT TUBING: Route the clear, 20cm long, 4mm I.D. vent tubing upward into the
body of the air handler, ensuring that it is not kinked or blocked. Do not remove,
cut off, shorten, twist, or sharply bend the vent tube. Do not connect this tube to
the air handler; it is for venting only.
10. Inspect the air conditioner coil and remove any foreign material that might fall into
the drain/drip tray and enter the pump reservoir. Rinse the coil and drain/drip tray
to remove any foreign material before connecting the EC-OP inlet tubing. FAILURE
TO DO SO MAY CAUSE PREMATURE FAILURE OF THE PUMP AND/OR DAMAGE
TO PROPERTY.
11. INLET TUBING: Connect the black, 8mm I.D. inlet tubing to the air handler drain
hose. If the drain hose has hard plastic connector, it may be necessary to cut the
hose and remove the connector. Connect the small end of the supplied adapter to
the inlet tubing, and the large end to the drain hose. The adapter fits 16mm, 18mm,
22mm, or 24mm I.D. drain hose. Use a hose clamp or Jubilee® Clip to secure the
drain hose to the adapter.
12. After connecting the discharge, vent, and inlet tubing, ensure that the pump
remains positioned correctly on the base plate.
13. Align the guides of the wall cover with the guides of the base plate, then push the
cover onto the base plate until it snaps into place. (To remove the cover, depress
the snaps on both sides of the cover and pull it forward.)
Installing the EC-OP (pump only)
1. Install the pump so that the reservoir is below the air handler drain and can be
gravity-fed by condensate water from the air handler's drip tray.
2. THE EC-OP PUMP IS NOT SUBMERSIBLE. Ensure that it is located where water
can not be splashed, sprayed, or dripped onto it.
3. For correct operation the pump must be installed in a level position. Use care to
ensure the pump will remain level throughout its operating life. If not positioned
within +/- 10 degrees of level, the automatic float operation may fail and cause the
pump to overflow.
4. The float in the reservoir contains a magnet. Ensure that the reservoir is located at
least 6mm from any metallic surface to ensure that the float operates correctly.
5. DISCHARGE TUBING: Route the clear, 100cm long, 4mm I.D. discharge tubing to
an inside drain, or along the refrigeration lines to an outside drain. Use extra tubing,
if necessary. Use the supplied 4mm to 6mm adapter to connect to 1/4" braided
tubing, if necessary. Do not extend the discharge tubing more than 9m above the
level of the pump. To prevent a siphoning effect, do not extend the end of the
discharge tubing more than 1m below the level of the pump. Ensure that there are
no kinks or breaks in the discharge tubing.
6. VENT TUBING: Install the clear, 20cm long, 4mm I.D. vent tubing in an upward
position, ensuring that it is not kinked or blocked and that it will remain in an upward
position during the operating life of the pump. Do not remove, cut off, shorten, twist,
or sharply bend the vent tube.
7. Inspect the air conditioner coil and remove any foreign material that might fall
into the drain/drip tray and enter the pump reservoir. Rinse the coil and drain/drip
tray with an approved air conditioner coil-cleaning product to remove any foreign
material before connecting the EC-OP reservoir. FAILURE TO DO SO MAY CAUSE
PREMATURE FAILURE OF THE PUMP AND/OR DAMAGE TO PROPERTY.
8. INLET TUBING: Connect the black, 8mm I.D. inlet tubing to the air conditioner
condensate drain. If the drain hose has hard plastic connector, it may be necessary
to cut the hose and remove the connector. Connect the small end of the supplied
adapter to the inlet tubing, and the large end to the drain hose. The adapter fits
16mm, 18mm, 22mm, or 24mm I.D. drain hose. Use a hose clamp or Jubilee® Clip
to secure the drain hose to the adapter. If the condensate drain has a metal drain
