INSTALLATION
CAUTION!
• Risk of flooding. Be sure that all plumbing and fittings are rated to withstand the system pressure which you
expect the pump to generate.
• Risk of burst hose and flooding. Do not install with flexible hoses. Use only rigid piping that meets code.
NOTE:
• Installation of a low pressure safety cutoff switch on the pump discharge is recommended (and may be required by your
local code) to shut off the power in case of low discharge pressure (caused by broken pipe, etc.)
• Galvanized pipe may not need to be cut. If there is a union close to the pump location, disassemble the union and remove
(unscrew) pipe back past the pump location. Have new lengths of pipe cut and threaded to allow for the pump installation.
• Both suction and discharge ports have 1” (2.5 cm) NPT threads. Depending on your type of connection and the size of your
home’s piping, you may need to install adaptors on the ports.
1. Decide where the best place is to install the pump. Think about these things:
• It must be near the main water supply line.
• The pump must be accessible.
• The power cord must reach a power outlet.
• The controller’s LED lights must be visible.
• Ease of plumbing.
• Space saving.
2. Mount the pump on a solid base in the location you have decided on.
3. Choose a time that will allow you to shut off the water to the household while you install the
pump.
4. Shut off the main water supply valve to the household.
5. Open any faucet to relieve water pressure in the plumbing. Once the water pressure is
relieved, close the faucet.
6. READ STEP 6 COMPLETELY BEFORE STARTING WORK. You must remove a length of pipe from
the main water supply line to allow installation of tees for the pump. The locations of the
cuts must take into consideration the size of the tees being used, the length of the threads in
threaded joints or the overlap in glued or soldered joints, etc. Position the tees in line with the
pump suction and discharge threads.
Install the ball valve on the main water supply line (between the two tees). There may be some
water leakage while cutting the pipe. Remove any burrs or shavings caused by the cutting tool.
7. Once the short piece of pipe is removed, the piping above the cut can be drained to prevent
water mess. Place a pail under the opening going to the household. Open the highest faucet
in the system to let in air so the water can fall out of the pipes into the pail. Once it’s drained,
close the faucet.
8. Install the tees in the main water supply line. Install the ball valve on the main water supply
line (between the two tees). Point them toward the pump.
9. Install piping from tees to pump including a union and ball valve in each line, an elbow in the
discharge line, and a check valve in the pump suction line. The arrow on the check valve must
point to the pump suction (see illustration on next page). If not already in the plumbing system,
install a pressure relief valve in the pump discharge line capable of passing the full pump
flow at 100 PSI (689 kPa). If local code requires installation of a pressure relief valve capable
of handling the full pump flow at a pressure less than 100 PSI (689 kPa), follow the code
requirements. A low pressure safety cutoff switch should also be installed in the discharge line,
and may be required by your local codes.
