INSTALLATION
Power Cord
Inlet Pipe
For automatic operation, pump must be plugged
or wired into remote float switch or liquid level
controller. Installation instructions included with
switches and controllers should be referred to
for installation.
Pump will run continuously if plugged directly
into an electrical outlet. Care should be taken to
prevent pump running in a dry sump.
Pump must be installed in a suitable gas tight
basin which is at least 24" in diameter and
30" deep and vented in accordance with local
plumbing codes. Pump must be placed on a
hard level surface. Never place pump directly on
clay, earth or gravel surfaces.

Check valve
Union
Discharge pipe
Pump can be installed with ABS, PVC,
polyethylene or galvanized steel pipe.
Proper adapters are required to con-
nect plastic pipe to pump.
Always install a union in the discharge
line, just above the sump pit to al-
low for easy removal of the pump for
cleaning or repair.
A check valve must be used in the
discharge line to prevent back flow of
liquid into the basin. The check valve
should be a free flow valve that will
easily pass solids.
CAUTION: For best performance of
check valves when handling solids
install in a horizontal position or at an
angle of not more then 45°. Do not in-
stall check valve in a vertical position
Air bleed
as solids may settle in valve and pre-
hole
vent opening start-up.
When check valve is used, drill a relief hole 3/16"
in diameter in the discharge pipe. This hole
should be located below the floor line between
the pump discharge and the check valve. Unless
such a relief hole is provided, the pump could
"air-lock" and will not pump water even though it
will run.
A gate valve should follow the check valve to
allow periodic cleaning of the check valve or re-
moval of the pump.
The remainder of the discharge line should be
as short as possible with a minimum of turns to
minimize friction head loss. Do not restrict the
discharge to sizes below 2'.
Sewage and effluent applications will require a
separate sump vent. A connection is provided on
top of the sump or cover which must be piped
to the existing building vent or extended outside
with its own standpipe.
