Safety/Installation
This pump is designed for use in a residential
sump only. Pump water only with this pump.
NOTICE: This unit is not designed as a waterfall
or fountain pump, or for applications involving
salt water or brine! Use with waterfalls,
fountains, salt water or brine will void
warranty.
Do not use where water recirculates.
Not designed for use as a swimming pool
drainer.
NOTICE: Read this owner's manual for installation,
operation, and safety information.
Tools Required:
Pipe wrench, Strap Wrench, or Slip-Joint Pliers,
Hacksaw,
Screw Driver,
File or Sandpaper
Materials Required:
1-1/2" ABS or PVC Pipe with Cement to match
Threaded Adapter (Pipe to Pump)
Check Valve – Always install a new check valve
when installing a sump pump. If your check
valve does not have an 1/8" anti-airlock hole,
drill one in the discharge pipe just above where it
screws into the pump discharge. Be sure to install
the check valve so that the flow will be away
from the pump.

by 10" (254mm) depth for vertical and diaphragm
switch models; 14" (356mm) diameter by 18"
(457mm) depth for tethered switch models.

2A. Install the discharge plumbing and check
valve, using PTFE pipe thread sealant tape -
NOT pipe joint compound.
2B. Tighten the pipe into the pump (hand tight
+ 1-1/2 turns).
2C. Install a check valve in the vertical pipe to
prevent flow backwards through the pump
when it shuts off. To prevent airlocking the
pump, drill a 1/8" (3.2 mm) hole in the
discharge pipe just above where it screws into
the pump discharge. Install the check valve
above this hole, but keep it as close to the
pump as possible. Be sure the hole is below
the waterline and below the check valve.
2D. To reduce noise and vibration, cut the
discharge pipe near the pump and fasten
a short length of rubber hose (1-7/8" (48
mm) I.D., e.g. radiator hose) into it with
hose clamps.
