Installation

1.  Install tethered switch models in a sump pit with a 

minimum diameter of 14” (356mm). Install vertical switch 

models in a sump pit with a minimum diameter of 11” 

(280mm). Construct the sump pit of tile, concrete, steel or 

plastic. Check the local codes for approved materials.

 

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 suction 

housing clear of debris.

2.  Install the pump in the pit so the switch operating 

mechanism has maximum possible clearance.

3.  Install an in-line check valve to prevent flow backwards 

through the pump when the pump shuts off.

4.  Install the discharge plumbing.

A. When using rigid pipe, use plastic pipe. Wrap the 

discharge pipe thread with PTFE pipe thread sealant tape. 

Screw the pipe into the pump discharge port hand tight 

+1 – 1-1/2 turns.

  NOTICE Do not use ordinary pipe joint compound on 

plastic pipe. Pipe joint compound can attack plastics.

  NOTICE Thread the discharge pipe into the pump body 

carefully to avoid stripping or crossing threads.

B.  If a flexible discharge hose is used, make sure the pump 

is secured in the sump to prevent movement. Do not use 

a flexible discharge pipe in any permanent installation. 

 

 

Risk of flooding. Can cause personal 

injury and/or property damage. Failure to secure pump 

may allow pump movement, switch interference and 

prevent pump from starting or stopping. 

  NOTICE The discharge piping should be as short as 

possible to reduce pipe friction losses. Discharge pipe 

diameter should be equal to or larger than the discharge 

size of the pump. Smaller pipe diameters will restrict the 

capacity of the pump and reduce pump performance. 

C. Secure the discharge line before starting the pump.
  To reduce motor noise and vibrations, a short length of 

rubber hose (e.g. radiator hose) can be connected into 

the discharge line near the pump using suitable clamps. 

If the pump discharge line is exposed to outside sub-

freezing atmosphere, the portion of the line exposed 

must be installed so any water remaining in the pipe 

will drain to the outfall by gravity. Failure to do this can 

cause any water trapped in the discharge line to freeze 

which could result in damage to pump. 

5.  Power Supply: This pump is designed for 115 V., 60 Hz., 

operation and requires a minimum 15 amp individual 

branch circuit. Both the pump and switch are supplied with 

3-wire cord sets with grounding-type plugs. The switch plug 

is inserted directly into the outlet and the pump plug inserts 

into the opposite end of switch plug.

 

 Risk of electric shock. Can shock, burn or 

kill. Pump is supplied with a grounding conductor and 

grounding-type attachment plug. To reduce the risk of 

electric shock, be certain that it is connected only to a 

properly grounded, grounding type receptacle such as 

a grounded water pipe or a properly grounded metallic 

raceway or ground wire system. Ground terminal on 

pump cord plug is provided for your protection. DO NOT 

REMOVE!

 

A ground fault circuit interrupter is recommended for use 

with any electrical appliance submerged in water. For 

installation of such a circuit, consult a licensed electrician.

6.  After the piping and the check valve (if needed) have been 

installed, the unit is ready for operation

7.  Check the operation by filling the sump with water and 

observing pump operation through one complete cycle.

 

 

Risk of flooding. Can cause personal injury 

and/or property damage. Failure to make this operational 

check may lead to flooding and premature failure.

Operation

 Risk of electric shock. Can shock, burn or kill. 

Do not handle a pump or pump motor with wet hands or 

when standing on wet or damp surface, or in water.
1.  Keep the pump inlet screen clear.
2.  The shaft seal depends on water for lubrication. Do not 

operate the pump unless it is submerged in water as the 

seal may be damaged if the pump is allowed to run dry.

3.  The motor is equipped with an automatic reset thermal 

protector. If the temperature in the motor should rise 

unduly, the switch will cut off all of the power before any 

damage can be done to the motor. When the motor has 

cooled sufficiently, the switch will reset automatically 

and restart the motor. If the protector trips repeatedly, the 

pump should be removed and checked for the cause of 

the difficulty. Low voltage, long extension cords, a clogged 

impeller, very low head or lift, etc., could cause cycling.
