Pump System
Installation
The JB-1 is designed as a
relatively easy project provided
the installation instructions are
followed and national or local
electrical and plumbing codes are
followed. Bathrooms are usually
small. Because so many activities
occur in such a small place,
thorough planning is a must. Get
the right tools for the job before
beginning, and make a specific
and thorough plan. You may need
to make drawings, obtain a
building permit and/or have your
work inspected. Be prepared; read
all instructions that come with this
product before installation.
Basic Tools for the Job:
(Some of these tools may not be
needed depending on the type of
installation chosen)
• Adjustable wrench • Wallboard knife
• Clamps
• Ratchet wrench
• Flat pry bar
• Sponge
• Hammer
• Wrecking bar
• Multi-meter
• Masonry hammer
• Hacksaw
• Paint brush
• Wood chisel
• Screwdrivers
• Carpenter’s level
• Masonry chisel
• Tape measure
• Expandable plumber’s plug
• Putty knife
• Marker
• Cloths, rags
• Notched trowel
• Staple gun
• Neon circuit tester
1. The JB-1 can be installed
as a free standing unit or can
be enclosed.
2. Maintain at least 6" between
major bathroom fixtures.
3. If installing a shower or
bathtub, do not install them
within 60" of any light switch.
NOTE: The above recommendations
meet or exceed national and most
local building codes, and are meant
only as recommendations when
installing the JB-1 alone or as part
of a complete bathroom.
1. Position tank at desired
location that is level within
1/8" for the length. Ensure
that nails, screws, or other
sharp objects do not puncture
the tank.
2. For an enclosed installation the
unit is designed to fit within a
2" x 6" floor joist.
NOTE: A floor flange extender
seal kit must be used for this
type of installation, and is not
included with the JB-1 system.
3. Determine the location for the
JB system with attention given
to access to the discharge and
vent lines. Make the necessary
measurements, and determine
the necessary fittings and
piping that are required. Be
sure to observe all local
plumbing codes.
4. Install the long bolts and nuts
(Fig. 3, Item 3) that are used to
fasten the toilet to the tank or
subfloor.
NOTE: A standard floor flange
is not required.
The position of the toilet must
be determined to allow the
longer bolts to be inserted in
the correct holes. Install the
wax ring making sure to align
closet bolts for installation of
the toilet bowl in the desired
direction. (i.e., If the vent and
discharge pipe is to be installed
behind the wall, the toilet
bowl/flush tank will be parallel
to the pump housing and piping.)
5. Set pump in pump housing
with discharge toward the right
back corner as viewed from
toilet opening. The vertical
float switch must line up
square in the middle of the
corner baffle located inside the
pump chamber. Shim pump
as required.
6. Apply foam gasket (Fig. 3,
Item 6) to flange of pump
chamber. For best results,
overlap ends or gasket
approximately 1/2".
7. Place 2" straight flange in 2-3/8"
hole; this is the discharge.
8. Install the discharge pipe
(approximately 18" in length)
in lid as follows. Lubricate the
2" rubber seal with soapy
water and push the 2" pipe
through the seal.
9. Install the lid on the tank as
follows. Push the 2" discharge
pipe down until approximately
1-1/2" is protruding through
the lid. Pull pump power cord
up out of the tank and hang
over edge of the pump housing.
Screw threaded adapter into the
pump discharge by rotating the
lid assembly until hand tight.
Feed end of pump power cord
and the cord seal through small
hole in cover in the lid. (Fig. 3,
Item 8) Push lid down into
position on the pump well.
Tighten pump 2" discharge
pipe with a strap wrench. Do
not press cord seal into lid at
this time. (Ref. Step 21) Bolt
lid in place with (20) 1/4"-20
bolts and washers provided.
(Fig. 3, Items 1, 2)
10.Install the threaded vent pipe
or glue the vent pipe to a
male adapter.
Failure to heed above cautions
could result in injury or death.
