1. Install the sump pump in a sump pit with a minimum diameter of 10 in. (254mm) and a minimum depth of 15 in. (381mm). Construct the
sump pit of tile, concrete, steel or plastic. Check local codes for approved materials and for proper installation.
2. Install the pump in a pit so that the switch operating mechanism has maximum possible clearance.
3. The pump should not be installed on clay, earth or sand surfaces. Clean the sump pit of small stones and gravel which could clog the
pump. Keep the pump inlet screen clear.
NOTE: Do not use ordinary pipe joint compound on plastic pipe. Pipe joint compound can attack plastics.
4. Install discharge plumbing. Use rigid plastic pipe and wrap threads with PTFE pipe thread sealant tape. Screw pipe into the pump hand
tight plus 1-1/2 turns.
CAUTION: Risk of flooding. Can cause personal injury and/or property damage. If a flexible discharge hose is used, make sure
the pump is secured in the sump to prevent movement. Failure to secure the pump may allow pump movement, switch
interference and prevent the pump from starting or stopping.
5. To reduce motor noise and vibrations, a short length of rubber hose (1-7/8 in. (47.6mm) I.D., e.g. radiator hose) can be connected into the
discharge line near the pump using suitable clamps.
6. Install an in-line check valve or an in-pump check valve to prevent flow backwards through the pump when the pump shuts off.
NOTE: If your check valve is not equipped with an air bleed hole to prevent air locking the pump, drill a 1/8 in.(3.2 mm) hole in
the discharge pipe just above where the discharge pipe screws into the pump discharge. Be sure the hole is below the waterline
and the check valve to prevent air locks.
7. Power Supply: Pump is designed for 115 V, 60 Hz, operation and requires a minimum 15 amp individual branch circuit. Plug the power
plug into a 115V GFCI power outlet.
WARNING: Risk of electric shock. Can shock, burn or kill. Pump should always be electrically grounded to a suitable
electrical ground such as a grounded water pipe or a properly grounded metallic raceway, or ground wire system. Do not cut
off the round ground pin.
