Pre-Installation

APPLICATION

This submersible sewage basin system is designed for pumping sewage, effluent, wastewater, or flooded water with up to 2 in. diameter solids. The pump is built with overload thermal protections and auto reset. The pump is equipped with a 10 ft. 3-prong grounding-type power cord and snap-action float switch. This pump operates automatically. Ball bearings on motor shafts never need lubrication.

TYPICAL INSTALLATION

Labels include: Electric cord grommet, Pump power cord, Vent pipe, Discharge pipe, Vent flange, Discharge flange, Inlet pipe, Hub, Basin stacking rib, Basin, Backfill, and Compacted sub-base or concrete pad.

TOOLS REQUIRED

• Flathead screwdriver
• 7/16 Nut Driver or Wrench
• Hacksaw or PVC Cutter
• Tape measure
• PVC primer
• PVC cement
• Safety goggles

MATERIALS REQUIRED (NOT INCLUDED)

Before using this pump, ensure you have the following items:

• 2 in. PVC Schedule 40 Pipe
• 2 in. PVC Schedule 40 Threaded Male Adaptor x 2
• 2 in. Shut-off Valve
• Thread Seal Tape

Installation

1 Installing the basin

1. Remove the twelve outer bolts securing the cover to the basin and set aside. Take the cover off the basin.
2. Remove the contents from the basin and remove the components shown in the product description above from their packaging.
3. Excavate a hole large enough to accommodate the basin (A), backfill material (1) and inlet piping (2).
4. Add 4 - 6 in. of clean sub-base material or concrete (3) to the bottom of the hole.
5. Assure that it is level, compacted, and smooth.
6. Place the basin (A) in the hole and ensure that it is level.

2 Connecting the inlet piping

1. The center of the inlet opening is 8 in. from the top inside edge of the basin.
2. Insert the 4" Snap-In Hub into the inlet hole in the basin so that the basin wall is between the two curved flanges of the hub. Make sure the word "TOP" on the hub is facing up.
3. Insert your 4" inlet piping into the 4" Snap-In Hub at least up to the stop in the hub. Hand-tighten the hose clamp.
4. Carefully backfill with naturally rounded gravel or stone, larger than 3/8 in. and smaller than 3/4 in. diameter, around the periphery of the basin.
5. Finish the floor to grade as required by code.

3 Installing the pump and cover

1. Wrap the threads of the discharge pipe assembly with thread seal tape. Screw the discharge assembly into the pump's discharge opening. Make sure the weep hole is pointing away from the float.
2. Position the pump in the bottom of the basin so that influent from the inlet pipe will not fall directly on the pump's float switch.
3. Apply the cover seal tape to the top edge of the basin just inside the bolt circle diameter.
4. Place the basin cover loosely on the basin. Remove the cord grommet and set aside.
5. Thread the pump's power cord through the cord opening in cover.
6. Position the cover so that the discharge pipe assembly is inserted into the socket of the discharge socket flange on the underside of the cover. Do not glue.
7. Reposition the cover and pump assembly as needed so that the cover bolt holes line up with the bolt holes on the basin and reinstall the cover bolts.
8. Press the cord through the slit and into the hole in the cord grommet and press the grommet into the cord hole in the cover to provide a tight seal.

4 Connecting the discharge piping

1. Install a 2 in. PVC Schedule 40 threaded male adapter (not included) into the discharge flange on the top of the cover. Use thread seal tape to seal the threads. Make sure that you are connecting to the sewage pump discharge and not the vent.
2. Connect 2 in. PVC Schedule 40 discharge pipe (not included) to the male adapter using PVC primer and solvent cement to properly seal the connection.
3. Install the 2 in. compression fit check valve to the discharge line. Ensure the flow arrow on the check valve is pointed in the right direction. Hand tighten fittings to ensure a watertight seal.
4. Install 2 in. PVC Schedule 40 pipe into the check valve and connect this pipe to the appropriate sewer main pipe for discharge. Hand tighten the fittings to ensure a watertight seal.
5. It is a good idea to install a shutoff valve in the discharge line between check valve and the sewer if service to the system is required in the future.

5 Attaching the vent connection

1. Install a 2 in. PVC Schedule 40 threaded male adaptor (not included) into the vent flange. Use thread seal tape to seal the threads.
2. Connect a 2 in. PVC Schedule 40 vent pipe (not included) to the male adaptor using PVC primer and solvent cement to properly seal the connection. Connect the vent pipe to the sewer's vent system according to local codes.
3. It is a good idea to install a union in the vent line if service to the system is required in the future.

6 Connecting the power and verifying proper operation

1. Connect the power cord to a properly grounded GFCI outlet in accordance with the information in the safety section of this guide.
2. Check for proper system operation by filling the basin with water and observe the pump's operation through one complete cycle.

PRODUCT DESCRIPTION

*The weep hole prevents the pump from becoming “air-locked”, a condition which will not allow the pump to pump water.

Troubleshooting

? CAUTION: Call an electrician when in doubt. The pump should be connected to a separate 15 A circuit breaker or 15 A fuse block. Note that plugging into existing outlets may cause low voltage at the motor. This could cause blown fuses, tripping of motor overload, or a burned-out motor.

⚠️ WARNING: Before servicing a pump, always shut off the main breaker and unplug the pump. Under flooded conditions, make sure you are not standing in water and that you are wearing insulated protective sole shoes. Contact your electric company or a qualified licensed electrician for disconnecting electrical service prior to pump removal.
