Installation
INSTALLATION (TYPICAL): SEPARATE
DISCHARGE
Risk of electrical shock. Can shock, burn, or
kill. Unplug the primary sump pump before beginning
this procedure.
NOTICE: Allow for overlap when cutting piping and run a
trial (dry) fitting before you glue.
1. Use PTFE pipe thread sealant tape on male ends of
discharge pipe. Thread the 1-1/4" x 1-1/2" elbow
(supplied) onto the discharge. When tight, the elbow
must point up.
2. If possible, install the Battery Backup Unit (BBU) on
the floor of the sump; be sure that the two pumps do
not touch each other and do not interfere with switch
operation.
NOTICE: If debris or gravel is present in the bottom
of the sump pit that could get sucked up into the
pump, set both the primary sump pump and the BBU
up on bricks or cinder blocks to prevent clogging.
3. If the sump is too small to allow both pumps to sit
on the bottom of the sump, install an angle bracket
on the primary sump pump's discharge pipe with
stainless steel hose clamps. Mount the backup
pump on the angle bracket. See Figure 7, "Separate
Discharge".
4. Cut a piece of 1-1/2" PVC pipe to reach from the
backup pump discharge elbow to about one (1) foot
above the basement floor. This is the lower discharge
pipe.
5. To prevent airlocking the pump during operation,
drill a 1/8" hole in the lower discharge pipe about 2"
above the bottom of the pipe (below floor level).
6. Install FP0026-10 check valve (purchase separately)
on the upper end of the pipe. Tighten the hose
clamps securely. BE SURE that the flow arrows point
UP (away from the BBU). If they point down, the
valve will not pass water and the pump will not work.
7. Cut a short length of 1-1/2" PVC pipe for a riser pipe
and clamp it into the top of the check valve.
8. Install a U74-68 Hose and Clamp Assembly on the
top of the riser pipe. For 1-1/2" pipe, remove and
discard the short piece of 1-1/4" hose in the Hose
and Clamp Assembly. Leave the hose clamps loose
and slide the Assembly down below the top of the
riser pipe.
9. Determine where you want the discharge to exit the
basement. At that point, drill the necessary holes
(large enough to have clearance for a 1-1/2" pipe) to
allow you to run the discharge pipe from above the
sump to the outdoors.
10. Install the horizontal discharge pipe. Install a 90°
elbow on the inside end but do not glue.
11. Cut another short piece of 1-1/2" PVC for the Upper
Discharge Pipe to run from the top of the riser pipe
up to the 90° elbow. Be sure to allow enough overlap
for the glue joint in the elbow.
12. Do a trial fit with NO GLUE, installing the 1-1/2"
upper discharge pipe in the 90° elbow and the upper
discharge pipe in the vertical end of the 90° elbow.
The upper discharge pipe should just fit between the
riser pipe and the elbow.
13. Risk of fire and chemical inhalation.
Whenever using PVC primer and PVC cement, follow
the glue manufacturer's instructions.
14. Make sure that the BBU will clear the primary sump
pump and its switch. If there isn't room for both
pumps to sit on the floor of the sump, the BBU will
have to be raised (depending on your particular situ-
ation).
15. Clean, prime and glue the upper discharge pipe
into the 90º elbow. When the glue has set, slide the
Hose and Clamp Assembly up to cover the joint and
tighten all the hose clamps.
16. Install the Battery Backup Switch as shown, 1" above
start water level of primary pump. Fasten it to the
pipe with cable ties.
17. Tape the pump cord to the riser pipe so that the plug
cannot fall into the sump.
18. Go to "BBU WIRING AND SETUP" (Page 10) for
wiring instructions.
19. Once all wiring is complete, fill your pit with water
and verify that the PSP removes the water and the
BBU doesn't run. Then, unplug your PSP and refill
your pit with water. Verify that the BBU pump
removes the water.
20. Make sure that the power is on to both pumps, and
your system is ready to use.
