INSTALLATION STEPS
See typical installation diagram in page 4
We recommend that you install your pump and basin in a clean location where there
is adequate room for servicing at a later date. Protection from freezing temperatures
and good ventilation should be considered as well, to provide the pump an
environment for long life.
Assuming that you have a sump pit located in your basement floor... Your sump pit
should be constructed from concrete, brick, tile or more recently a sump basin made
from plastic and/or fiberglass. The minimum size of your sump pit must be 18” in
diameter and no less than 25” deep. When pit is ready, proceed to next step.
Friction losses in the discharge pipe must be taken into consideration when many
elbows and fittings are installed in the discharge line. Each elbows and fittings must
be considered as 1 feet of head.
Never run the pump dry. Damage to the seal may occur.
The run of the pipe from the check valve to the existing waste or drain line must
never be slooping downward except when connecting to same.
For a new installation, install your sewage basin in the excavation you have provided
in the basement floor of your home. Connect the necessary piping from your shower
trap, toilet, etc., to the inlet of your sewage basin, with the proper pipe and fittings (see
diagram).
Cut a length of 40” to 42” of 2” ABS/DWV pipe. Cement the 2” ABS/DWV male
adaptor to 2” slip to one end of this pipe.
With your drill, make a 1/2” hole in the adaptor previously glued. This hole will prevent
any air locking wich might occur.

The following are minimum requirements in order to protect your residence from flooding. It is a small
investment but it is your personal responsibility to protect your home, family and valuables. Failure to
comply with the following requirements will also void your warranty:
- Two (2) pumps have to be installed in the sewage pit. The first pump as a primary pump and the
second pump as the backup unit.
- An Alarm system model 450454 has to be installed to advise you of any malfunctions.
Pump selection, proper and adequate installation are a must to comply with local by-laws and need to
be adhered to.
