INSTALLATION
INSTALLATION OF THIS UNIT MAY TAKE
SEVERAL HOURS. BEFORE DISABLING YOUR MAIN PUMP, HAVE READY AN
APPROPRIATE MEANS OF EVACUATING THE SUMP.
1. Turn power to main pump off.
2. Pump must be installed using 1-1/4 in. or 1-1/2 in. rigid
PVC piping. Do not use flexible hose.
THIS INSTALLATION MUST BE IN ACCORDANCE WITH
THE NATIONAL ELECTRIC CODE AND ALL APPLICABLE LOCAL CODES AND
ORDINANCES.
3. Use a basin (purchased seperately) or pit that is large enough
to accommodate the system. The minimum requirements for
the sump system are shown in Figure 1.
4. Clean the basin/pit of all debris.
5. If using a basin, place the system directly on the bottom of
the basin.To prevent damage set the system on a solid, level
surface. Do not place units directly on clay, earth, gravel or
sand. A brick or blocks can be installed under the pumps to
provide a solid base.
6. Position system so the float switch is away from the inlet
so float switch is clear from incoming water. Verify the float
has at least 1 in. clearance to the side wall of the basin and
is free to move throughout its travel.
7. Install discharge plumbing according to local, regional
and state codes. Rigid PVC pipe is required. Do not
use flexible hose in a permanent application. A 1-1/2
PVC schedule 40 coupling is required on diverter valve
discharge. Do not use schedule 20 couplings or drainage
fittings.
8. Install removable check valve (8) (Wayne Part Number:
57028-001) positioned just above the basin to allow easy
removal of the system for cleaning
and service. Note: A check valve is required to prevent
back-flow.
9. Install a gate valve or ball valve if required by local, regional
or state code.
10. Connect pump power supply cord to a ground fault circuit
interrupter (GFCI) outlet (1).
