Installation of the Side Outlet Depressed Sump Box
To install the side outlet depressed sump box, follow these
steps:
•
Wipe the edges around the opening in the cold water basin to
remove any dirt or moisture that may have accumulated during
shipment. Apply a layer of 1/8” x 1” butyl sealer tape around
the opening in the basin over the centerline of the holes. Do
not stretch the sealer too thinly or overlap at the corners.
When it is necessary to splice the sealer, be sure to press the
two ends together to form a smooth continuous strip. Apply
a second layer of sealer tape over the first layer following the
same procedure. Refer to Figure 10 for more details.
•
Insert the sump box assembly into the opening in the cold
water basin and attach it to the basin with 3/8” x 1” bolts,
nuts, flat washers, and lock washers as shown in Figure 10,
Detail A.
•
Place the suction strainer over the opening.
