Installation
Tools Required:
Pipe wrench, Strap Wrench, or Slip-Joint Pliers,
Hacksaw,
Screw Driver,
File or Sandpaper
Materials Required:
1-1/2” ABS or PVC Pipe with Cement to match
Threaded Adapter (Pipe to Pump)
Check Valve – Purchase a FP0026-10 (goes
in the discharge line) or FP0026-6D (goes in
the pump discharge). If your check valve does
not have an 1/8” anti-airlock hole, drill one in
the discharge pipe just above where it screws
into the pump discharge. Be sure to install the
check valve so that the flow will be away from
the pump
1. Install pump in sump pit with minimum sump
size: 10” (254mm) diameter by 10” (254mm)
depth. Construct sump pit of tile, concrete,
steel or plastic, as shown in Figure 1. Check
local codes for approved materials and for
proper installation.
2. Pump should not be installed on clay, earth or
sand surfaces. Clean sump pit of small stones
and gravel which could clog pump. Keep
