NOTICE: DO NOT use plumber's pipe threading
compound ("pipe dope") on plastic pipe; it can damage
the plastic, causing leaks and piping failure and voiding
the warranty.
1. Place the sink in its final location.
2. Remove any existing drain fittings back to the tail
piece (Figure 1). Make sure the existing tail piece does
not leak.
NOTICE: If the sink-drain tail piece is not 1-1/2" NPT,
you will have to adapt it (bushings, reducers, etc.). In
this case, wrap all joints with PTFE pipe thread sealant
tape before making connections.
3. Glue the 1-1/2" PVC pipe into the female adapter
(purchase separately).
Fire and explosion hazard. Be sure to
follow the cement manufacturer's instructions when
using PVC cement. Do not use near fire or open
flame.
4. Wrap the threads of the tail piece with 1 to 1-1/2
turns of PTFE pipe thread sealant tape. Thread the
1-1/2" NPT female adapter onto the sink-drain tail
piece. Thread it hand tight plus 1/2 turn with a pipe
wrench or slip joint pliers. DO NOT overtighten.

5. Wrap the threads of the 1-1/2" male adapter with
1 to 1-1/2 turns of PTFE pipe thread sealant tape
and install it in the pump inlet. Tighten it hand tight
plus 1/2 turn with a pipe wrench or slip joint pliers.
DO NOT overtighten!
6. Measure the 1-1/2" PVC pipe against the drain and
the pump and trim the pipe to fit.
7. Do a trial assembly (dry - no glue) of the pump onto
the drain pipe. Swing the pump until it accurately
faces the discharge piping, and then mark the pump
and the inlet pipe/adapter assembly so that you
can accurately install the pump in Step 8. Arrange
a temporary support under the pump to relieve the
strain on the sink drain piping while the glue is
setting. Leave it in place while you measure and cut
the discharge piping (Step 12).
8. Slide the pump up into position and glue the pipe into
the male adapter (on the pump).
•
Don't allow any glue to get on the pump or in
the motor;
•
Make sure the pump is facing the correct direction
(match the marks from Step 7);
•
Put the support in place under the motor.
9. Wrap the 1-1/4" galvanized nipple with 1-1/2 to 2
turns of PTFE pipe thread sealant tape on each end
and thread it into the pump discharge port.
NOTICE: Tighten this only enough to prevent leaking.
Over-tightening can crack the plastic.
10. Hold the nipple with a pipe wrench and thread one
half of the 1-1/4" union onto it, hand tight plus 1-1/2
turns with a pipe wrench or slip-joint pliers.
11. At this time, wrap the threads on both the 1-1/4"
male adapters with 1-1/2 to 2 turns of PTFE pipe
thread sealant tape. Thread one of the adapters into
the other half of the 1-1/4" union, hand tight plus
1/2 turn with a wrench or a pair of slip-joint pliers.
DO NOT overtighten!
12. Install the discharge piping as shown in Figures 1
and 2. The order is:
1-1/4" PVC Pipe cut to fit,
90° Socket to Socket elbow,
1-/14" PVC Pipe cut to fit,
Male adapter,
Flow Control/Ball Valve,
Check Valve,
(NOTICE: Install the check valve in the vertical
discharge pipe with the threads down. Be sure the flow
arrow points AWAY from the pump. That is, when the
check valve is correctly installed, the arrow showing
direction of flow should point UP.)
1-1/4" Outlet Pipe.
13. Connect the discharge piping to the building drain.
plug in the pump
AFTER the pump is completely installed, plug the switch
into a GFCI-protected, properly grounded outlet. Plug the
pump into the back of the switch's plug.
