ADVICE
PIPE SUPPORTS
All sanitary pipe work must be
supported, in accordance with the pipe
manufacturers recommendations, to
avoid dipping, which may cause the
build up of residual water and
subsequent blockage.
BENDS
Where possible bends should be used.
Do not use elbows. If not available use
two 45° elbows.
VERTICAL INSTALLATION FIRST
If vertical lift is required, this must
precede the horizontal pipe run.
DIRECTLY VERTICAL
The vertical discharge pipe should first
bypass the bowl, do not extend the
horizontal portion of the pipe for more
than 12-inch.
EASY ACCESS
The unit should be accessible and
removable in the event of maintenance
being required. During the installation a
full-port gate valve should be fitted at
the base of any vertical discharge pipe
work from the unit to allow easy
removal of the unit without flooding.
GRAVITY FALL
Horizontal discharge pipe work must
also have a positive gravity fall to allow
free drainage when the pump stops.
THREE FEET MINIMUM
The macerating/pump unit must be
installed at least 3 feet from the soil
stack. This will cause the macerator to
operate for an adequate period of time
to ensure waste reduction.
SOIL STACK CONNECTION
This unit must discharge into a minimum
3-inch sanitary drainage pipe.
All discharge pipe work must be
connected to the soil stack by an
appropriate and approved TY
connection. Please note: the use of a
Saddle Clip may be prohibited in your
area.

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.
PIPE WORK
All pipe work should be either copper or
solvent weld plastic. Do not us flexible
pipes.
DISCHARGE
Never discharge directly into an open
drain, manhole or rainwater drain pipe.
It is illegal.
FREEZING
Ensure all pipe work susceptible
freezing is adequately insulated. The
toilet and macerating/pump unit must
be properly winterized in unheated
buildings.
ELECTRICITY
Before attempting any maintenance or
servicing, the unit must be disconnected
from the power source.
The SANICOMPACT must be
®
connected to a Ground Fault Circuit
Interrupter and be supplied with 120V,
60Hz.
