SINCE 1981
INSTALLING RAIL SYSTEM PARTS (Fiberglass Basin) Discharge Elbow Base,
Discharge Piping and Guide Rails:
1. Determine proper length required for discharge piping.
2. Connect discharge piping to elbow base.
3. Lower the discharge piping/elbow base assembly into the basin.
4. Position the elbow base by dropping a plumb line from the center of the guide
rail pins located on the upper guide rail bracket to the center of guide rail pins
protruding from the elbow base. Level the elbow base flange in two directions
90° to each other.
5. Cut the 1’’ pipe guide rails (supplied by others) to the proper length and install
them between the pins of the upper guide rail bracket and the pins on the elbow
base. It is recommended that the guide rails are to be 1’’ schedule 40, galva-
nized or stainless steel pipe.
ATTACHING MOUNTING PLATE TO PUMP
1. De termine if mounting adapter flange (included) is required for proper assembly.
2. Position mounting plate against pump discharge flange or (if required) sandwich
mounting adapter flange between mounting plate and pump discharge flange.
3. Secure mounting plate to pump with screws and washers. Tighten securely.
INSTALLING PUMP AND DISCONNECT
Position pump so the guide rails are captured by the mo unting plate. Slowly lower the
pump down the guide rails to the base.
If the pump is supported from beneath with concrete blocks or extended legs on the
pump base, make certain the mounting plate is sufficiently compressed for sealing.
The cantilevered weight of the pump is required for compressing and sealing the ma-
chined faces between the mounting plate the elbow base.
After lowering the pump down the guide rail, secure the upper end of the lifting cable
where convenient, to prevent the cable from falling into the basin.
