1. Study Figure 2 for suggested layouts.
The Easy-Install layout works better for deeper
sumps and allows a smaller diameter sump (diameter
13-1/2" or larger, depth more than 22").
The alternate layout works better for wider, shal-
lower sump pits (diameter 18" or larger, depth
18-22"). The Alternate layout will require that you
purchase (2) 1-1/4" x 90° elbows and (2) 1-1/4" x
close pipe nipples.
Other layouts may require more pipe fittings.
2. Find the high water level mark you made on the
discharge pipe in "Setup, Step 1". Cut the pipe at
this point and set the cut-off piece aside for use later.
Clean up and debur the cut ends.
3. Wrap the threads of the Battery Backup pump (BBU
pump) and the 1-1/4" x close nipple with 1-1/2 – 2
turns of PTFE pipe thread sealant tape (see Figure 2).
Leave the first thread free of tape and wrap
clockwise (
).
4. Thread the tee, the close nipple, the 1-1/4" x 1-1/4"
check valve, and the BBU pump together. To get
them tight, hold the pump and insert a large screw-
driver down through the tee and tighten the whole
assembly with the screwdriver. D
When the assembly is tight, the pump and tee should
align vertically (no twist – see Figure 2).
5. Glue the cut-off piece of pipe (which you set aside
in Step 2) into the top of the tee.

install the auxiliary check valve in the bottom arm
of the tee and install the slip coupling on the check
valve (see Figure 2). For 1-1/4" discharge pipe, glue
the remaining reducer bushing into the slip coupling.
NOTICE If the primary pump assembly already
includes a functioning check valve, do not use the
auxiliary check valve included in the BBU system.
You need one check valve between the primary
pump and the tee (to prevent backflow from either
pump into the sump pit), but two check valves will
restrict the pipe too much.

"Setup"). Mark the discharge pipe coming up from
the tee 1/4" below the point of overlap (that is, you
should have an air gap of 1/4" after you cut the
pipe). Don't cut anything yet.
