ADVICE
PIPE SUPPORTS
All฀sanitary฀pipe฀work฀must฀be฀
supported,฀in฀accordance฀with฀the฀pipe฀
manufacturer’s฀recommendations.฀
Avoid฀dipping฀or฀trapping,฀which฀may฀
cause฀the฀build฀up฀of฀residual฀“solids”฀
and฀sub-฀sequent฀blockage.
BENDS
Where฀possible฀long฀sweeping฀bends฀
should฀be฀used.฀Do฀not฀use฀short฀
elbows.฀If฀sweeping฀90°฀elbows฀are฀
not฀available฀use฀two฀45°฀elbows฀to฀
make฀a฀90°฀turn.
PIPE WORK
All฀pipe฀work฀should฀be฀either฀copper,
PVC฀or฀CPVC฀(Do฀not฀use฀flexible฀
pipes).฀Hangers฀should฀not฀be฀less฀than฀
three฀feet฀apart฀to฀prevent฀pipe฀rattling.
DISCHARGE
Never฀discharge฀directly฀into฀an฀open฀
drain,฀fixture,฀manhole฀or฀rainwater฀
drainpipe.฀It฀is฀illegal฀for฀it฀constitutes฀
a฀health฀hazard.฀Direct฀connections฀into฀
sanitary฀waste฀systems฀only,฀shall฀be฀
acceptable.
FREEZING
Ensure฀all฀pipe฀work฀susceptible฀to฀
freezing฀is฀adequately฀insulated฀or฀
heated.฀In฀unheated฀buildings,฀the฀
toilet,฀piping฀and฀macerating฀unit฀must฀
be฀properly฀winterized฀with฀“RV฀or฀
plumbers”฀anti-freeze฀or฀drained฀
completely.
ELECTRICITY
Before฀attempting฀any฀maintenance฀or฀servicing,฀the฀unit฀must฀
be฀disconnected฀from฀the฀power฀source.฀The฀macerating฀
system฀must฀be฀connected฀to฀a฀Ground฀Fault฀Circuit฀Interrupter฀
(GFCI).
VERTICAL INSTALLATION FIRST
Any฀initial฀horizontal฀pipe฀run฀from฀the฀
unit,฀prior฀to฀a฀vertical฀lift฀should฀not฀
exceed฀12-18฀inches.
EASY ACCESS
The฀unit฀should฀be฀accessible฀and฀remo-
vable฀in฀the฀event฀of฀maintenance฀being฀
required.฀During฀the฀installation฀a฀full-port฀
ball฀valve฀should฀be฀installed฀at฀the฀base฀of฀
any฀vertical฀discharge฀pipe฀work฀from฀the฀
unit฀to฀allow฀easy฀service฀of฀the฀unit.
GRAVITY FALL
The฀unit฀accepts฀wastewater฀by฀gravity;฀
it฀does฀not฀“vacuum”฀in฀water.฀All฀inlet฀
pipe฀work฀must฀have฀a฀positive฀gravity฀
fall,฀(1/4”฀per฀foot).฀All฀horizontal฀piping฀
from฀the฀macerating฀unit฀must฀also฀have฀
a฀positive฀gravity฀fall฀to฀allow฀free฀
drainage฀when฀the฀pump฀stops.
NO DIAGONAL “UPHILL”
PIPE RUNS
All฀discharge฀pipe฀work฀from฀the฀unit฀
should฀run฀either฀directly฀vertical฀upwards฀
from฀it฀or฀in฀a฀horizontal฀plane฀(with฀a฀small฀
gravity฀flow)฀to฀the฀point฀of฀discharge.฀
Pipe฀work฀should฀not฀be฀installed฀with฀
diagonal฀upward฀slope฀from฀the฀unit฀to฀
the฀point฀of฀discharge.
