3. Break sharp, outside edge of discharge pipe with a file.
A rounded corner is preferred, but a smooth chamfer should be
acceptable.
4. Apply light oil to pump packing flange (E), cover packing
flange (B) and outside entire length of discharge pipe (A)
which will pass through the cover packing.
5. Insert discharge pipe through cover flange, lower pipe until
end rests on pump flange (E).
6. Scribe a line on pipe OD at cover flange (B) scribe a second
line 1-1/2 inches above the first line.
7. With a downward turning, twisting motion insert the pipe into
pump flange (E) until the second line (step 6) reaches the
cover flange.
8. Tighten cover flange bolts until discharge pipe is securely
held by packing forced against pipe OD.
9. It is recommended that a spool piece (F) be installed in the
discharge pipe above the basin cover for ease of assembly
and disassembly.
10. Loosen the cord grips (C). Pull motor cables (D) through
the cord grips leaving a little slack and tighten grips to hold
cables. Route cables to motor control panel (through conduit, if
required).

11. Seal the basin cover split (if 2-piece basin cover was
supplied), manhole cover and discharge pipe flanges with a
pliable, non-hardening sealer (available at any plumbing
supply).
PIPING:
The discharge pipe line of the pump should include a
union, a horizontal swing check valve, and a gate valve, all
near the pump.
The line should be run to a point above the sewer level so as
to drop into the sewer from above. This arrangement permits
easy removal of the unit for repairs or cleaning and prevents
sewer backing up through the discharge pipe.
The discharge pipe should not be smaller in size than the
discharge connection on the pump. Where runs are long, they
should be at least one or two sizes larger.
It is important that the pipe connections to the unit be so made
that there is no pipe strain upon the pump.
When raw swage is handled, the basin should be vented to the
atmosphere.
LIQUID LEVEL CONTROLS:
Peerless Pump offers fixed or
sliding float versions of standard float controls, or, a sealed
electrode floatless controller,
