DESCRIPTION
Little Giant Submersible 20S Series Sewage Ejector Pumps and 20E Series
Effluent Pumps are recommended for use in basins or lift stations and suitable
for pumping sewage, effluent, wastewater and other non-explosive, non-cor-
rosive liquids. The 20S Series Sewage Ejector Pumps have 2" spherical solids
handling capability. The 20E Series Effluent Pumps have 3/4" spherical solids
handling capability.
Little Giant offers a complete line of control systems, along with a complete line
of alarms, basins, covers, and check valves.
SPECIFICATIONS
Discharge Size:
20E and 20S — 2" or 3"
Handling Capabilities: E Series — 3/4" spherical solids
S Series — 2" spherical solids
Pump Housing:
Cast iron
Volute:
Cast iron
Impeller:
Non-clog brass with pressure relief vanes
Motor:
3 Phase, 3200 RPM (control panel required)
Hardware:
300 Series stainless steel
Bearing:
Ball
Shaft Seal:
Mechanical, spring loaded, rotating carbon with Nitrile
boot and stationary ceramic seat, with secondary Nitrile
exclusion seal
Power Cord:
14 AWG 4-conductor, copper, stranded
Cooling:
The motor housing contains a cooling oil to provide
cooling for the motor and to lubricate bearings and
seals. These pumps are capable of operating with the
motor housing partially exposed for extended periods
of time, providing sufficient motor cooling and bearing
lubrication. However, for the best cooling and longest
motor life, the liquid level being pumped should normally
be above the top of the cast iron motor housing.
SAFETY GUIDELINES
WARNING: RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK. THIS PUMP IS SUPPLIED WITH A
GROUNDING CONDUCTOR. TO REDUCE THE RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK,
BE CERTAIN THAT IT IS CONNECTED TO A PROPER ELECTRICAL GROUND.
DO NOT REMOVE CORD OR STRAIN RELIEF. DO NOT CONNECT CONDUIT
TO PUMP. THIS PUMP MUST BE INSTALLED BY QUALIFIED PERSONNEL.

1. Read all instructions and Safety Guidelines thoroughly. Failure to follow
the guidelines and instructions could result in serious bodily injury and/or
property damage.
2. DO NOT USE TO PUMP FLAMMABLE OR EXPLOSIVE FLUIDS SUCH
AS GASOLINE, FUEL OIL, KEROSENE, ETC. FAILURE TO FOLLOW THIS
WARNING CAN RESULT IN PERSONAL INJURY AND/OR PROPERTY
DAMAGE.
3. During normal operation the pump is immersed in water. Also, during rain
storms, water may be present in the surrounding area of the pump. Caution
must be used to prevent bodily injury when working near the pump.
4. Do not run the pump in a dry basin. If the pump is run in a dry basin, the
surface temperature of the pump will rise to a high level. This high level
could cause skin burns if the pump is touched and will cause serious damage
to your pump.
5. Do not oil the motor. The pump housing is sealed. A high grade dielectric
oil devoid of water has been put into the motor housing at the factory. Use
of other oil could cause serious electric shock and/or permanent damage
to the pump.
6. Do not install in locations classified as hazardous in accordance with the
National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA 70.
7. When a pump is in a basin, etc., do not touch motor, pipes or water until
unit is unplugged or shut off. If your installation has water or moisture present,
do not touch wet area until all power has been turned off. If shut-off box is
not accessible, call the electric company to shut off service to the house, or
call your local fire department for instructions. Failure to follow this warning
can result in fatal electrical shock.
8. The flexible PVC-jacketed cord assembly mounted to the pump must not
be modified in any way, with the exception of shortening the cord to fit into a
control panel. Any splice between the pump and the control panel must be
made within a junction box and mounted outside of the basin, and comply with
the National Electrical Code. Do not use the power cord for lifting the pump.
This pump must be used with a control panel which incorporates thermal or
overload protection and stalled-rotor conditions and shall be rated or set to a
maximum ampere rating as noted below.
