Installation

 

The pump shall be plugged into a properly fused electrical 

outlet with a ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI) that 

conforms to current National Electric Code (NEC) and all 

applicable local codes. All wiring must be performed by 

qualified personnel.

 

All electrical and safety practices shall be in accordance with 

the National Electrical Code

®

, the Occupational Safety and 

Health Administration, or applicable local codes and 

ordinances.

 

Pump shall be properly grounded using its supplied 

grounding conductor. Do not bypass grounding wires or 

remove ground prong from attachment plugs. Failure to 

properly ground the pump system can cause all metal 

portions of the pump and its surroundings to become 

energized.

 

Note to Installer: 

During installation, it is best to cover the 

macerating unit with plastic to protect it from potential leaks at 

the toilet fill connection or tank to bowl gasket.
Refer to Figure 1 Typical Applications as needed during the 

installation process. Installations may vary per local plumbing and 

electrical codes. Also, discharge and vent pipe routing can vary 

per installation.
1. Place the macerator in the desired location and connect all 

inlet and outlet waste piping to the unit. The inlet side should 

be facing the toilet to ensure proper placement. Refer to 

Figure 4 and Figure 5.

2. Assemble the toilet in accordance with the installation 

manual(s) provided with it. Be careful when tightening 

fasteners as to not crack the porcelain.

 Figure 4. Placement Options

 Figure 5. Toilet Connections

1. To mount the toilet to a concrete floor, drill two holes 

approximately 2-1/4” deep with a 5/16” masonry drill bit. 

Insert plastic plugs into holes. If the floor is wood, bore a pilot 

hole with a 1/4” drill bit. Fasteners not included.

2. Toilet to macerator connection:

a. Standard Installation:

Place the toilet in front of the 

macerating tank and apply 

silicone grease (supplied) to the 

rubber sealing lip of macerator. 

Then slide the discharge hub of 

the toilet into the rubber 

sealing ring of the macerator.

b. Behind Wall Installation:

To install the macerator behind a wall, an Extension Pipe Kit 

(K001184, sold separately) is needed. Included in the kit 

are an 18-3/4” long extension pipe, a decorative trim ring, 

and a grease packet. Rubber rings seal both ends of the 

extension pipe.
To prevent tearing, always grease both seals prior to 

installing the pipe. Slip the decorative trim ring onto the 

pipe. To install the pipe, no fasteners are required. Slip the 

extension pipe over the toilet discharge, and then insert 

the pipe into the macerator.
Liberty Pumps recommends using only one extension pipe.
