INSTALLATION
The pump must be installed in a suitable gas‐tight,
properly vented basin which is at least 24 inches
(610 mm) deep and is at least 18 inches (457 mm)
wide for pumps fitted with wide angle (ball type) on/
off switches, and at least 14 inches (356 mm) wide
for pumps fitted with vertical on/off switches.
The pump must be placed on a hard surface in a
sump that has been cleared of all debris. Never
place the pump on clay, earth or gravel surfaces. It
is suggested that the pump be positioned on two
bricks approximately 2 inches (51 mm) apart.
Connect the discharge pipe, fittings and check
valve (if desired) to the discharge port of the pump.
It is recommended that the discharge pipe diamet
er be equal to or larger than the discharge size of
the pump.
The pump will handle 3/8 inch (9,5 mm) diameter
spherical solids.
Piping
Either hose or rigid PVC, galvanized steel or cop
per pipe may be used for the discharge connec
tion.
For maximum pumping capacity, use non‐collaps
ible hose or rigid piping, and keep the discharge as
short and straight as possible. If rigid piping is
used, minimize the use of elbows and fittings which
increase friction losses and reduce pump perform
ance.
All piping must be clean and free of all foreign mat
ter to prevent clogging.
A check valve or throttling valve may be installed in
the discharge line to control siphoning or back flow
when the pump is shut off.
ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS
All electrical connections must be in accor
dance with The National Electric Code and
all local codes. If there is a conflict between
the instructions provided and N.E.C. Speci
fications, N.E.C. Specifications shall take
precedence. All electrical equipment sup
plied with this pump was in conformance
with N.E.C. requirements in effect on the
date of manufacture. Failure to follow appli
cable specifications, or substitution of elec
trical parts not supplied or approved by the
manufacturer, can result in severe injury or
death and void warranty.
Always use a three‐prong grounded re
ceptacle. It is strongly recommended
that a Ground Fault Interrupter (GFI)
type receptacle (or equivalent) be used.
Figure 2. Always Use a Grounded Receptacle
Verify that the voltage and frequency
shown on the pump name plate corres
ponds to those available at the recept
acle. The installer must make certain
that the electrical system is grounded in
accordance with code.
The receptacle into which the pump is to be
plugged must be connected to a separate 15 amp
circuit breaker or fuse block. Plugging into existing
outlets may cause low voltage at the motor, which
could cause tripped circuit breakers or blown
fuses in the service panel, tripping of the motor
overload or a burned out motor. When in doubt, call
an electrician.
A permanent ground connection from the recept
acle to the grounding bar at the service panel is
mandatory. These pumps are equipped with a
grounding conductor and a grounding‐type plug.
