INSTALLATION
I WARNING: Under no circumstances should
power or sensing cable be pulled while the pump
is being transported or installed. Attach a chain or
rope to the grip or lugging bolt to install the
pump. (certain models of pump will be provided
with stainless steel lift cable)
1. This pump must not be installed on its side or
operated in a dry condition. Ensure that it is
installed upright on a secure base.
2. Install the pump at a location in the tank
where there is the least turbulence.
3. If there is a flow of liquid inside the tank,
support the piping where appropriate. Install
piping so that air will not be entrapped. If
piping must be installed in such a way that
air pockets are unavoidable, install an air
release valve wherever such air pockets are
most likely to develop.
INSTALLATION: These pumps are recommended
for use in a concrete pit or basin. The basin or lift
station shall be sealed and vented in accordance
with local plumbing codes. This pump is designed
to pump grey water, non-explosive and non-
corrosive liquids, and shall NOT be installed in
locations classified as hazardous in accordance
with the National Electrical Code (NEC)
ANSI/NFPA 70 or Canadian Electric Code (CEC).
The minimum depth should be at least
42” . Check
the pump catalog for minimum basin diameter.
These are the minimum requirements. The pump
should never be installed in a trench, ditch, or
hole with a dirt bottom. The legs will into the dirt
and the suction will become plugged.
1. EXCAVATION: Excavate the hole large enough
to accommodate basin, back fill material, &
adequate working space. A minimum of 8”
diametrical clearance around the tank is
recommended. Never place basin directly in
contact with rocks or other sharp objects.
Prepare the bottom of the excavated hole
with at least 6” of back fill material or
concrete pad. Place only fine ⅛” to ¾” pea
gravel or ⅛” to ½” washed, crushed stone as
back fill material. Do not use sand or native
soil as backfill. Properly compact underneath
the basin to provide a solid level base that can
support the weight of the filled basin. Check
base to insure it is level. Anchor if necessary.
2. INLET CONNECTION & INITIAL BACKFILL: Only
fine pea gravel or washed, crushed stone
should be used around the bottom of the
basin to hold it in place. Concrete may be
poured around basin bottom if ballast is
required for buoyancy. Do not use sand or
native soil as backfill. Make the inlet
connection as required for your basin. Do not
install more than 1 inlet connection per basin.
3. FINAL BACKFILL: Fill basin with water before
backfilling. Only fine pea gravel or washed,
crushed stone is recommended. Do not use
sand or native soil as backfill. Back fill to 4” to
6” around the entire periphery of the basin.
Compact back fill material in 12” lifts.
I
CAUTION: If burial depth is greater than basin
height, consult factory representative to assure
structural
integrity is not compromised.
Reinforcement may be required
I CAUTION: In freezing conditions, back fill
material must be dry and free of ice.
