by 13" (330.2mm) depth for vertical switch
models.

2A. Install the discharge plumbing and check valve,
using PTFE pipe thread sealant tape — NOT

when it shuts off. To prevent airlocking the
pump, drill a 1/8" (3.2 mm) hole in the discharge
pipe just above where it screws into the
pump discharge. Install the check valve above
this hole, but keep it as close to the pump
as possible. Be sure the hole is below the
waterline and below the check valve.

Risk of flooding. Make sure the pump
cannot move in the sump. If the pump moves
when it runs, the piping or sump wall may
interfere with the switch and prevent the pump
from starting or stopping.
