INSTALLATION
INSTALLATION
Install on a hard, level surface of sediment or gravel.
Hazardous voltage. Can shock, burn or kill. See
Cord Lift Warning in Safety section.
PIPING
Piping must not be smaller than pump discharge. When
installed in a sewage system, the pipe must be capable of
handling semi-solids of at least 2" (51mm) in diameter.
The rate of flow in the discharge pipe must keep any solids
present in suspension in the fluid. To meet minimum flow
requirements (2 feet per second in the discharge line), size the
pipe as follows:
A Pipe Size Of:
1-1/2" (38mm)
2" (51mm)
2-1/2"(64mm)
3"(76mm)
In a sewage system use a 2" (51mm) check valve in pump
discharge to prevent backflow of liquid into sewage basin. The
check valve should be a free flow valve that will easily pass
solids. Be sure check valve installation complies with local
codes.
For best performance of check valve when handling solids,
do not install it with the discharge more than 45° above the
horizontal. Do not install the check valve in a vertical position
as solids may settle in the valve and prevent it from opening on
startup.
ELECTRICAL
When installing, operating, or servicing this pump, follow the
safety instructions listed below.
1.
DO NOT splice the electrical power cord.
2.
DO NOT allow the electrical cord plug to be submerged.
3.
DO NOT use extension cords. They are a fire hazard and
can reduce voltage sufficiently to prevent pumping and/or
damage motor.
4.
DO NOT handle or service the pump while it is connected
to the power supply.
5.
DO NOT remove the grounding prong from the plug or
modify the plug. To protect against electrical shock, the
power cord is a three-wire conductor and includes a
3-prong grounded plug. Plug the pump into a 3-wire,
grounded, grounding-type receptacle. Connect the pump
according to the NEC or CEC and local codes.
For automatic operation, plug or wire the pump into an
automatic float switch or duplex controller. The pump will run
continuously when plugged directly into an electrical outlet.
Connect or wire pump to its own individual branch circuit with

Will Handle a Flow Rate Of:
12 GPM
21 GPM
30 GPM
48 GPM
no other outlets or equipment in the circuit. Size fuses or
circuit breakers according to the "Electrical & Switch
Specifications" chart.
Be sure that power supply information (Voltage/ Hertz/Phase) on
pump motor nameplate matches incoming power supply exactly.
Install pump according to all electrical codes that apply.
Improper ventilation of sewer gases can result in leakage of
methane sewer gas, and a possible explosion of fumes, resulting in
severe injury or death. Vent basin according to all local codes.
NOTE: Proper ventilation is needed to prevent negative basin
pressure and to provide air for proper aerobic activity within the
basin.
The sewage basin should be located at the lowest place in the
basement or area to be drained. Floor drains from other areas in
the basement may be tiled into the basin. Drain tile around a house
foundation may also be tiled into the basin, effectively removing
water and relieving pressure from this area. Basin covers are used
to exclude refuse from the basin.
INSTALLATION
1.
Dig the hole for the sewage basin and the sub-base. The hole
must be deep enough so the finished floor is flush with the top
of the basin. Refer to Figure 1.
2.
The sub-base should include 4
maximum diameter of crushed rock should be 1/2
recommended maximum diameter of pea gravel is 3/4
3.
Level the sub-base out, until it is smooth. Sharp rock can
damage the basin.
4.
Install the basin on top of the sub-base.
5.
Backfill around the basin with crushed rock, with a maximum
"
diameter of 1/2
, or use pea gravel.
"
6.
Insert the 4
inlet pipe through the rubber grommet. Insert it
2 inches into the basin. Dish soap can be used to lubricate the
rubber grommet. If necessary, file the sharp edges of the pipe
to prevent damage to the grommet.
7.
NOTE: The pipe should pitch down to the basin inlet at 1/4
foot. This will cause the water to run into the basin.
8.
Lubricate the square cut O-Rings with dish soap. Insert them
into the groove on the bottom side of the flanged grommets
with the chamfered side of the ring out.
9.
Install the flanged grommets into the basin lid.
10. Install the discharge pipe into the 2
grommet.
