ing pump, allow it to cool for 20 minutes after shut-
down before handling it.

INSTALLATION
NOTICE: Install pump on a hard, level surface (cement,
asphalt, etc.). Never place pump directly on earth, clay or
gravel surfaces.
Piping – Effluent Applications
(3/4" or Less Solids)
Piping must be 1-1/2" minimum to carry volume of pump
discharge. Check local codes to determine if a check
valve is required in your system. In cold climates, check
valves are not used to prevent effluent from freezing in
piping.
If using as a sump pump, a check valve is recommended.
Piping – Sewage Applications
(2" or Less Solids)
In any case, piping must not be smaller than pump
discharge.
When installed in a sewage system, pipe must be capable
of handling semi-solids of at least 2" (5.1 cm) diameter.
The rate of flow in the discharge pipe must keep any sol-
ids present in suspension in the fluid. To meet minimum
flow requirements (2 feet (.6 m) per second in discharge
line), size pipe as follows:
A Pipe Size Of:
1-1/2" (3.8 cm)
2" (5.1 cm)
2-1/2" (6.3 cm)
3" (7.6 cm)
20 (6.1m) 25 (7.6m)
