outlet. Plug the pump into the back of the switch’s
plug.

7.
Do a trial assembly (dry - no glue) of the
pump onto the drain pipe. Swing the pump
until it accurately faces the discharge piping,
and then mark the pump and the inlet pipe/
adapter assembly so that you can accurately
install the pump in Step 8. Arrange a
temporary support under the pump to relieve
the strain on the sink drain piping while the
glue is setting. Leave it in place while you
measure and cut the discharge piping (Step
12).
8. Slide the pump up into position and glue the
pipe into the male adapter (on the pump).
9. Wrap the 1-1/4 in. galvanized nipple with
1-1/2 to 2 turns of PTFE pipe thread sealant
tape on each end and thread it into the
pipe discharge port. Do NOT overtighten,
overtightening can crack the plastic.
10. Hold the nipple with a pipe wrench and
thread on half of the 1-1/4 in union onto it,
hand tight plus 1-1/2 turns with a pipe wrench
or slip-joint pliers.
11. At this time, wrap the threads on both the
1-1/4 in male adapters with 1-1/2 to 2 turns
of PTFE pipe thread sealant tape. Thread
one of the adapters into the other half of the
1-1/4 in union, hand tight plus 1/2 turn with
a wrench or slip-joint pliers. DO NOT over
tighten!
12.
Install the discharge piping as shown. The
order is:
a.
1-1/4 in. PVC Pipe cut to fit
b.
90° Soc. to Soc. elbow
c.
1-1/4 in PVC Pipe cut to fit
d. Male adapter
e. Flow Control/Ball Valve, Check Valve
f. 1-1/4 in. Outlet Pipe
13. Install the check valve in the vertical
discharge pipe with threads down. Be sure
the arrow points AWAY from the pump.
When the check valve is correctly installed,
the arrow showing direction of flow should
point UP. The vertical height for the check
valve to the pipe outlet should be at least 6
feet to avoid check valve leakage.
14. Connect the discharge piping to the building
drain.
