7.2 Guidelines for installation of lifting station

The guidelines for correct mechanical installation of lifting station 
are according to EN 12056-4.
See section 

7.1.1 Installation sketches

.

• Install the lifting station in a properly lit and vented room with 

60 cm free space around all parts to be serviced and operated.

• Provide a pump sump below the floor level. If a lifting station is 

installed in a basement with the risk of penetrating 
groundwater, it is advisable (in certain countries required) to 
install a drainage pump in a separate pump sump below floor 
level in order to drain the room. See figures 

15

 and 

16

.

• All pipe connections must be flexible to reduce resonance.
• Lifting stations must be secured against uplift and twist.
• All discharge pipes from lifting station, diaphragm pump and 

drainage pump must have a bend above the local backwater 
level. The highest point of the bend/reversed water seal must 
be above street level. See figures 

15

 and 

16

.

• For discharge pipes, DN 80 and upwards, install an isolating 

valve in the discharge pipe. Also provide an isolating valve in 
the inlet line.

• Surface water must not be discharged into the lifting station 

inside the building. It must have its own pumping station 
outside the building.

• Lifting stations must be provided with an approved non-return 

valve according to EN 12050-4.

• The volume of the discharge pipe above the non-return-valve 

up to the backwater level must be smaller than the effective 
tank volume.

• In general, a lifting station for black wastewater must be 

vented above roof level. However, it is permitted to lead the 
ventilation, as a secondary ventilation, into the main building 
ventilation system. Special venting valves (accessory) must be 
placed outside the building.

• If the wastewater is discharged into a collecting line, this 

collecting line must have a filling ratio of at least h/d = 0.7. 
The collecting line must be at least one nominal diameter 
bigger after the discharge pipe connection.

• The controller must be placed in a flood safe place and be 

equipped with an alarm.

• Use a diaphragm pump for simple, manual draining of the 

collecting tank in case of pump failure (not obligatory).

7.3 Procedure for installation of lifting station

7.3.1 Inlet pipe connections, Multilift MD

1. Check the scope of delivery. 

For scope of delivery see sectio

2. Scope of delivery

.

2. Prepare the adjustable inlet on the back of Multilift MD. 

The turnable inlet disk has a DN 100 inlet and allows the inlet 
height to be adjusted to any height between 180 and 315 mm 
above floor level. The most common heights, 180, 250 and 
315 mm, are marked beside the inlet. See fig. 

17

. An inlet disk 

with a DN 150 inlet is available as an accessory. See fig. 

18

The screws around the outer ring of the inlet disk are not fully 
tightened allowing the inlet disk to be turned. This will allow 
the inlet to be adjusted to the desired inlet height. When the 
desired inlet height has been set, tighten all screws. 
All screws must be tightened to max. 9 Nm.

Fig. 17

DN 100 inlet disk, adjustable from 180 to 315 mm 
above the floor to the middle of the inlet pipe

Fig. 18

Optional DN 150 inlet disk, adjustable from 207 to 
279 mm above the floor to the middle of the inlet pipe

Note

The collecting tank, pump and cables may be flooded 
(max. 2 m for 7 days). 

Caution

The controller must be installed in a dry and well 
ventilated place.

Note

Before connecting Multilift MD, consider that when 
turning the inlet disk to fit to the height of the inlet 
pipe, the lifting station and the discharge will move 
sideways accordingly (max. 72.5 mm). See fig.
