PRE-INSTALLATION TIPS
GRAVITY FALL
The unit accepts wastewater by gravity; it does not “vacuum”
in water. All inlet pipe work must have a positive gravity fall,
(1/4" per foot). All horizontal piping from the macerating unit
must also have a positive gravity fall to allow free drainage
when the pump stops.
VERTICAL INSTALLATION FIRST
If vertical lift is required, this must precede the horizontal pipe
run.
DIRECTLY VERTICAL
All vertical lifts should rise as directly above the unit as
possible, allowing only for the need to clear the toilet tank.
Any initial horizontal pipe run from the unit, prior to a vertical
lift should not exceed 12-18 inches.
PIPE SUPPORTS
All sanitary pipe work must be supported, in accordance with
the pipe manufacturer's recommendations. Avoid dipping or
trapping, which may cause the build up of residual solids and
sub- sequent blockage.
THREE FOOT MINIMUM
The macerating unit must be installed at least 3 feet from the
soil stack. This will allow the macerator to operate for an
adequate period of time to ensure efficient waste reduction.
SOIL STACK CONNECTION
All discharge pipe work must be connected to the soil stack
by an appropriate and approved connection. A “tee” or ”y”
fitting as shown is preferable.
