7. INSTALLING THE VENT
The PowerSewer® system includes a 2" remote vent cap to facilitate
local plumbing code compliance while preserving the surrounding
landscaping. The remote vent cap is made from non-corrosive
polypropylene and is fitted with a stainless steel bug screen. The vent
cap is a non-vortexing design to minimize nuisance odors.
CAUTION
This is a sewage-handling pump and must be
vented in accordance with national, state, and local plumbing codes
7.1 Vent Coupling Location
The vent pipe and coupling connection is factory-installed in a
grommet mounted in the vent boss 12" below the collection tank rim.
NOTICE
The PowerSewer® system ships with a standard
2" Schedule 40 PVC Female Coupling installed in the vent boss Other
vent coupling sizes and types are available upon request
7.2 Vent Cap Location
The remote vent cap can be located in any convenient non-
conspicuous location that is not in conflict with national, state or local
plumbing codes. When determining vent cap height, consider site
conditions such as surface water, snow cover and potential flooding.
7.3 Vent Pipe Slope
The vent piping should be installed so it slopes 1/8" per foot towards
the PowerSewer® collection tank.
NOTICE
Vent pipe and fittings are supplied by installer
7.4 Solvent Cementing Vent Piping and Fittings
Once vent piping and fittings are determined, solvent cement them
together using the procedures outlined in section 4.0, Solvent
Cementing Joints.
NOTICE
Joints and fittings in the vent piping must
be watertight If not, ground and surface water could infiltrate
the PowerSewer® system, resulting in unnecessary pumping
and treatment costs
7.5 Installing the Remote Vent Cap
The vent cap is supplied with 2" NPT threads. Screw the vent cap into a
2" NPT female adapter (supplied by installer) until hand-tight. Thread
sealant is unnecessary.
8. LOCATING AND MOUNTING
THE CONTROL PANEL
This control is mounted in a NEMA 4X enclosure for external mounting
in an appropriate location.
8.1 Selecting the Control Panel Location
Determine the location for mounting by taking into consideration
local winter weather conditions and the possibility of high water.
Consult with the property owner whenever possible to determine the
appropriate location for all components of the PowerSewer®.
8.2 Mounting Fasteners
The enclosure can be mounted on a pedestal or upon a structure
through the four mounting holes in the enclosure. Be sure to consider
the weight of the control box and structural integrity of the mounting
surface when selecting a mounting fastener.
8.3 Securing the Control Panel
Measure, center and mark the drill points for the conduit entry into the
enclosure. If conduit is not used, a strain relief entry and sealant must
be utilized to prevent accidental wire removal. It is recommended that
conduit entry be sealed to prevent moisture from entering the box.
Measure, level and mark the drill holes for the mounting screws.
Mount the control box and bring the wire and/or conduit into the box.
