INSTALLATION

Physical Installation

Risk of personal injury, or damage to pump or other equipment.
• Check that lifting equipment complies with all safety rules, and is suitable to support the weight of
the pump.
Rail System Adapters
Adapters are available from FPS allowing pump installation to various rail systems.
Basin
Pump must be installed in a suitable gas-tight basin. It must be sealed and vented to meet local, state, and fed-
eral plumbing codes. Pump must be placed on a hard level surface. Never place pump directly on clay, earth, or
gravel surfaces. These surfaces contain small stones, gravel, sand etc. that may clog or damage the pump and
cause pump failure.
Piping
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 full-flow valve that will easily pass solids. When a check valve is used, drill a 3/16" diameter relief
hole 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. Never reduce the pipe size to any diameter smaller than the size of the pump discharge to
allow proper solids passage.

Electrical Connection

The flexible power 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 comply with the National Electrical Code.
The power cord must be connected to a constant source of power matching the voltage specified on the pump
nameplate.
• The pump should be connected or wired to its own circuit, with no other electric receptacles or equipment
in the circuit.
• The fuses or circuit breaker should be of ample capacity in the electrical circuit. Amperage ratings for each
pump are listed. Refer to
• Connect to a circuit equipped with a ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI) device if required by code.
Control Panel
Follow the wiring instructions supplied with the control panel, and adhere strictly to NEC guidelines during
installation. Franklin Engineered Products control panels are available in simplex and duplex orientation and
come standard with many features including seal fail circuitry and thermal sensors for motor protection. If there
are additional features required, please consult the factory or your authorized dealer for assistance.
