Physical Installation
Risk of damage to pump or other equipment.
• Support pump and piping when assembling and when installed. Failure to do so may cause piping to break, pump
to fail, motor bearing failures, etc.
• If the relief hole in the discharge pipe is not provided, the pump could "air lock" and will not pump water even
though it will run.
• A missing, improperly installed, or malfunctioning check valve can cause a pump to short-cycle due to back-flow
of the pumped fluid from the discharge plumbing back into the basin, significantly shortening the life of the
pump.
1. Install the pump in the center of a suitable gas tight basin that is at least 18 inches (45.72 cm) in
diameter and 30 inches (76.2 cm) deep and vented in accordance with local plumbing codes.
• Ensure sump is clean and free of nails, gravel, string, cloth, or other debris before installing.
• Provide adequate room for future servicing, protection from freezing temperatures, flooding,
and equipment drainage.
• Never place the pump directly on clay, earth, or gravel surfaces.
IMPORTANT: Do not attempt to restrict the intake side of the pump.
