ADVICE
PIPE SUPPORTS
All sanitary pipe work must be
supported, in accordance with the pipe
manufacturer's recommendations.
Avoid dipping or trapping, which may
cause the build up of residual "solids"
and sub- sequent blockage.
BENDS
Where possible long sweeping bends
should be used. Do not use short
elbows. If sweeping 90° elbows are
not available use two 45° elbows to
make a 90° turn.
PIPE WORK
All pipe work should be either copper,
PVC or CPVC (Do not use flexible
pipes). Hangers should not be less than
three feet apart to prevent pipe rattling.
DISCHARgE
Never discharge directly into an open
drain, fixture, manhole or rainwater
drainpipe. It is illegal for it constitutes
a health hazard. Direct connections into
sanitary waste systems only, shall be
acceptable.
FREEZINg
Ensure all pipe work susceptible to
freezing is adequately insulated or
heated. In unheated buildings, the
toilet, piping and macerating unit must
be properly winterized with "RV or
plumbers" anti-freeze or drained
completely.
ELECTRICITY
Before attempting any maintenance or servicing, the unit must
be disconnected from the power source. The macerating
system must be connected to a Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter
(GFCI).

VERTICAL INSTALLATION FIRST
Any initial horizontal pipe run from the
unit, prior to a vertical lift should not
exceed 12-18 inches.
EASY ACCESS
The unit should be accessible and remo-
vable in the event of maintenance being
required. During the installation a full-port
ball valve should be installed at the base of
any vertical discharge pipe work from the
unit to allow easy service of the unit.
gRAVITY FALL
The unit accepts wastewater by gravity;
it does not "vacuum" in water. All inlet
pipe work must have a positive gravity
fall, (1/4" per foot). All horizontal piping
from the macerating unit must also have
a positive gravity fall to allow free
drainage when the pump stops.
NO DIAgONAL "UPHILL"
PIPE RUNS
All discharge pipe work from the unit
should run either directly vertical upwards
from it or in a horizontal plane (with a small
gravity flow) to the point of discharge.
Pipe work should not be installed with
diagonal upward slope from the unit to
the point of discharge.
