prong plug. To reduce the risk of electric shock, be certain that the SumpBox™ unit is connected only to a
properly grounded grounding-type receptacle. This receptacle may be protected by a ground fault circuit
interrupter (GFCI). All electrical circuitry should be installed in accordance with the National Electric Code

nameplate and/or the product literature. Ensure that the electrical supply circuit is equipped with fuses or breakers of the proper
capacity.
6. It is recommended that a separate branch circuit be installed for the pump. Such a branch circuit should be sized in accordance
with the NEC.
7. Each electrical outlet should be tested to ensure that a proper ground has been established. A UL listed circuit analyzer will
indicate if the power, neutral, and ground wire are properly connected.

Rough-In
IMPORTANT: During the rough-in process the clear disposable protective cover should remain on the system to protect the
covers and accessories from dirt, gravel, concrete, and other objects.
A. Excavation: Choose a location in the basement that will allow easy access to the
system. Excavate the hole as small as possible, with a minimum recommended
8" clearance around the tank. Never place the basin directly in contact with rocks
or other sharp objects. Place only fine, 1/8" to 3/4" pea gravel or 1/8" to 1/2"
washed, crushed stone as bedding between the basin and the hole walls. Do not
use sand or native soil as backfill. Properly compact underneath the basin to
provide a solid, level base that can support the weight of the filled basin.
B. Staking Locators: The SumpBox™ basin has 4 staking features in the anti-
flotation flange that will accept up to 1/2" rebar (see fig. 1). Staking will help
support the system during inlet connection and backfill.
