INSTALLATION
1. Install pump in sump pit with minimum diameter
of 11" (28 cm). Sump depth should be 15"
(39 cm). Construct sump pit of tile, concrete,
steel or plastic. Check local codes for approved
materials and for proper installation.
2. Install pump in pit so that switch operating
mechanism has maximum possible clearance.
Adjust the float stop on the rod to adjust the
pump "ON" point. "OFF" point is factory preset.
3. Pump should not be installed on clay, earth or
sand surfaces. Clean sump pit of small stones
and gravel which could clog pump. Keep pump
inlet screen clear.
NOTICE Do not use ordinary pipe joint
compound on plastic pipe. Pipe joint compound
can attack plastics.
4. Install discharge plumbing. Use rigid plastic pipe
and wrap threads with
into pump hand tight plus 1-1/2 turns.
Risk of flooding. If a flexible
discharge hose is used, make sure pump is
secured in sump to prevent movement. Failure to
secure pump may allow pump movement, switch
interference and prevent pump from starting or
stopping.
5. To reduce motor noise and vibrations, a short
length of rubber hose (1-7/8" (47.6mm) I. D.,
e.g. radiator hose) can be connected into
discharge line near pump using suitable clamps.
6. Install an in-line check valve (part number
FP0026-10-P2) to prevent flow backwards
through pump when pump shuts off. If using the
pump in anything other than a sump application,
ensure in-line check valve is installed horizontally.
