SPECIFICATIONS
Power supply
115V, 60 HZ., 15 Amp Circuit
Liquid temp. range
32°F to 95°F (0°- 35°C)
Discharge size
1” Male NPT Discharge, includes 1-1/4” Female NPT x 1-1/2” Male NPT Adapter
Sump basin
Min. 14 in. (356 mm) diameter, 18 in. (457 mm) depth
NOTE
: Do not reduce size of discharge pipe or hose below 1-1/4 in. diameter. If discharge is too small, pump will
overheat and fail prematurely. This pump is designed for use in a residential sump only. Only pump water with this pump.
INSTALLATION
1. Install the sump pump in a sump pit with a minimum diameter of 14 in. (356mm) and a minimum depth of 18 in.
(457mm). Construct the sump pit of tile, concrete, steel or plastic. Check local codes for approved materials and for
proper installation.
2. Install the pump in a pit so that the switch operating mechanism has maximum possible clearance.
3. The pump should not be installed on clay, earth or sand surfaces. Clean the sump pit of small stones and gravel
which could clog the pump. Keep the pump inlet screen clear.
NOTE
: Do not use ordinary pipe joint compound on plastic pipe. Pipe joint compound can attack plastics.
4. Install discharge plumbing. Use rigid plastic pipe and wrap threads with PTFE pipe thread sealant tape. Screw pipe
into the pump hand tight plus 1-1/2 turns.
CAUTION
: Risk of flooding. Can cause personal injury and/or property damage. If a flexible discharge hose is used,
make sure the pump is secured in the sump to prevent movement. Failure to secure the pump may allow pump
movement, switch interference and prevent the pump from starting or stopping.
5. To reduce motor noise and vibrations, a short length of rubber hose (1-7/8 in. (47.6 mm) I.D., e.g. radiator hose) can
be connected into the discharge line near the pump using suitable clamps.
6. Install an in-line check valve or an in-pump check valve to prevent flow backwards through the pump when the pump
shuts off.
NOTE
: If your check valve is not equipped with an air bleed hole to prevent air locking the pump, drill a 1/8 in.
(3.2 mm) hole in the discharge pipe just above where the discharge pipe screws into the pump discharge. Be
