TYPICAL OUTDOOR CONCRETE BASIN WITH VALVE
BOX AND HINGED ACCESS COVERS
TYPICAL INDOOR FIBERGLASS BASIN
Typical Sewage/Waste Pumping System Installation
(1) Electrical wiring and protection
must
be in accordance with the National
Electrical Code, and any other applicable state and local electrical
requirements.
(2) Install proper full flow check and shut-off valve.
(3) Install proper controls. (Outdoor panels
require
NEMA 3R or 4X
enclosure)
(4) All installations
require
a basin cover to prevent debris from falling
into the basin and to prevent accidental injury.
(5) Gas tight seals are
required in all indoor sewage installations
to
contain gases and odors.
(6)
When check valve is installed
, drill a 3/16” (4 mm) diameter hole
in the discharge pipe below the check valve even with the top of the
pump. NOTE: The hole must be below the basin cover and cleaned
periodically. Water stream will be visible from this hole during pump
run periods. Also a vent hole is drilled in the pump housing. Be sure
that this hole is cleared during any servicing.
(7) Vent gases and odors to the atmosphere through vent pipe per Local
and State codes.
(8) Secure power cord to avoid entanglement with variable level float
switch mechanism.
(9)
Do not
reduce pump discharge pipe below 3” (76 mm) IPS size.
(10) Basin
must
be in accordance with all applicable codes
and specifications. Basin must be sized to allow a minimum 3 minute
lapse time between starts.
(11) Pump must be level and the tethered variable level float switch must
be free and not hang up on pump or pit peculiarities.
(12)
If
a rail system is used, discharge elbow
must
be firmly anchored to
the bottom of basin. In fiberglass basin, the bottom will need to be
reinforced if the discharge elbow is used.
(13)
If
a rail system is used, the guide rails are 3/4” schedule 40 pipe for
threaded vertical discharge units and 2” schedule 40 pipe for flanged
horizontal discharge units. Brass, stainless steel or galvanized steel
is recommended.
(14) Install ring and cable for lifting pump from pit.
(15) Basin must be clean and free of debris after installation.
(16) Cords must be properly sealed to prevent moisture and gases from
entering the control panel.
