1A. Minimum sump size: 10" (254mm) diameter
by 10" (254mm) depth.
1B. Construct the sump pit of tile, concrete, steel,
or plastic; it must meet code requirements.
1C. No clay, earth, sand, or gravel in the sump
(they will clog the pump). Keep the pump inlet
screen clear.

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. A check valve in the vertical pipe prevents 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.
