Do not position the lifting station directly on the ground. The site chosen must not have ground water and must not be subject to
flooding. Suitable anchor the station so as to avoid rotation and floating. For this you can use the slots on the base of the tank.
There must be a horizontal base suitable to bear the weight of the station during its operation. Depending on the characteristics of
the terrain it may be necessary to create walls with bricks, prefabricated components or concrete. Fill the space between the ditch
and the station with sand and compact it suitably. Protect the station suitably against frost.
Do not drive vehicles over the cover (see fig. 3 – pag.150). Fekabox / Fekafos: the cover can bear passing loads of 100 kg if
installed underground.
You can close the ditch with a cover (manhole) or other means for facilitating subsequent maintenance. Put up suitable signals indicating the
presence of the station so as to avoid possible damage caused unintentionally. Ensure that there is sufficient space for installation and
maintenance around and above the lifting station.
Position any capacitor holder and/or electric control panel in a place sheltered from the elements.
After having completed the hydraulic and electric connection, it is recommended to place clean sand around the container to reduce any
movements caused by the system and/or by the surrounding terrain.
4.3 Making holes for the collection and ventilation pipes
Choose the inlet duct already prepared for the inlet pipe so that the arrival of the liquid does not disturb the operation of the floats (of both the
pump and the tank, if provided). The Fekabox-Fekafos tanks have multiple inlets, all marked with the symbol:
Make a hole in the tank in the determined areas, indicated by the symbols shown above.
To make the hole use a hollow cutter as shown in figure 5 (indicative figure) with the correct diameter to suit the diameter of the input pipe.
4.4 Gluing the collection and ventilation pipes
Before gluing the PVC pipe must be deburred and cleaned with a suitable solvent on the whole surface where the glue will be applied.
To ensure that it sticks firmly, the glue must be applied on the whole newly deburred surface, at least for a complete round.
Attention: Use glue suitable for sticking PVC materials with PE (for example: Simson ISR 70-03) Also check the drying times indicated
in the specific instructions for the glue used. For the discharge pipe 2”PP (Fekabox 200) use the multifibre nylon sealant Loctite 55, the
polymerising GEI sealant Loctite 5331 or Teflon. For the steel pipe znb 2” (Fekabox 200, Fekafos 280, Fekafos 280 Double, Fekafos 550
Double) and the other inlet connections use the most suitable glue in accordance with the standards of the local market.
4.5 Connecting the delivery pipe to the sewer network
Fekabox 200, Fekafos 280 and Fekafos 550 tanks have a 2” GAS outlet connection.
To guarantee a perfect seal it is recommended to use Teflon or suitable glues depending on whether the material being glued is plastic (PP or
PVC) or metal.
