INSTALLATION
NOTICE: Install pump on a hard, level surface (cement,
asphalt, etc.). Never place pump directly on earth, clay
or gravel surfaces.
Piping – Effluent Applications
(3/4" or Less Solids)
Piping must be 1-1/2" minimum to carry volume of
pump discharge. Check local codes to determine if a
check valve is required in your system. In cold climates,
check valves are not used to prevent effluent from freez-
ing in piping.
If using as a sump pump, a check valve is recommended.
Piping – Sewage Applications
(2" or Less Solids)
In any case, piping must not be smaller than pump dis-
charge.
When installed in a sewage system, pipe must be capable
of handling semi-solids of at least 2" (5.1 cm) diameter.
The rate of flow in the discharge pipe must keep any
solids present in suspension in the fluid. To meet mini-
mum flow requirements (2 feet (.6 m) per second in dis-
charge line), size pipe as follows:
