Pump & Pipe
Installation Instructions

INSTALLATION B:
CONNECTION TO AN EXISTING DISCHARGE PIPE
(Diagram B)

Depending  on  your  installation  requirements,
PVC  pipe  lengths  will  vary.    Cut  the  pipes  and
assemble  them  as  shown  in  photo  #7.   

Do  not

cement them together until you are sure they are
cut  to  the  correct  lengths.

It  is  important  to

keep the discharge pipes on both pumps parallel
to each other, so that the pumps remain flat on
the  floor  of  the  sump.    More  detailed
instructions follow.

Unplug the main AC pump when installing
the backup pump to avoid electric shock.
Failure to do so could cause serious injury or
death.

1. Cut a piece of 1½” rigid PVC pipe long enough

to reach from the bottom of the sump pit to
one  (1)  foot  above  the  floor.    Prime  and
cement it to a 1½” pipe adapter, then screw
the adapter into the pump.

2. Install  a  check  valve  on  the  top  of  the  PVC

pipe attached to the Pro Series pump.  Make
sure it is installed with the arrow pointing up
or it will not prevent the backflow of water.

3.

When  a  check  valve  is  used,  a  1/8”  hole
must be drilled in the PVC pipe above the
Pro Series pump.  Make sure it is above the
water line and below the check valve.  Drill
the hole at a 45º angle toward the bottom
of  the  sump  to  avoid  splashing  water
outside the sump pit.  If a 1/8” hole is not
drilled in the pipe above the pump, an air
lock may prevent the pump from operating.

4. If  there  is  no  check  valve  on  the  discharge

pipe  of  the  main  AC  pump,  one  must  be
installed at this time.  Cut the discharge pipe
approximately  one  (1)  foot  above  the  floor.
Install  a  check  valve  on  the  top  of  the  pipe
and  tighten  the  bottom  hose  clamp.    Now
prime  and  cement  a  small  piece  of  1½”  PVC
pipe to the bottom of a “Y” connector.  Prime
and cement the top of the “Y” assembly to the
discharge pipe with the “Y” extension facing
down toward the backup pump.  Now connect
the bottom of the assembly to the check valve
and tighten the hose clamp.

Failure  to  install  a  check  valve  between  the
“Y”  connector  and  the  main  AC  pump  will
cause  the  main  system  to  not  operate
properly.  A 1/8” hole must also be drilled in
the PVC pipe above the pump.

5. Secure the pump wire so that the plug on the

end  will  not  fall  into  the  sump.    Attach  the
wire to the pipe with a piece of tape.

6. Place  the  pump  with  the  PVC

pipe  attachment  on  the  bottom
of  the  sump  floor  next  to  the
main  AC  pump.   

The  pumps

should not touch each other.

Do

not  mount  the  pump  to  any
existing  pipes;  it  should  be
placed on the floor of the sump.
A brick may be placed under the
pump if there are rocks or other
debris  on  the  sump  floor  that
may clog the pump.

7. Connect a piece of 1½” PVC pipe

above the check valve of the Pro
Series  pump,  and  attach  a  45°
elbow  to  that  pipe.    Extend
another  piece  of  pipe  to  reach
from  the  45°  elbow  to  the  “Y”
connector on the other pipe.

8. Prime  and  cement  all  pipe

connections  securely  to  prevent
leaking, and tighten all the hose
clamps.
