All installations must comply with all applicable electrical and plumbing codes, including, but not limited to, National Electrical Code, local, regional, and/or state plumbing
codes, etc. Not intended for use in hazardous locations.
RECOMMENDED INSTALLATION FOR ALL APPLICATIONS
1. Electrical wiring and protection must be in accordance with National
Electrical Code and any other applicable state and local electrical
requirements.
2. Install proper check valve, preferably just above the basin to allow easy
removal of the pump for cleaning or repair. See (4) below.
3. All installations require a basin cover to prevent debris from falling into
the basin and to prevent accidental injury.
4. When a check valve is installed, drill a 3/16" dia. hole in the discharge
pipe even with the top of the pump. NOTE: THE HOLE MUST ALSO BE
BELOW THE BASIN COVER AND CLEANED PERIODICALLY. Water
stream will be visible from this hole during pump run periods.
5. Securely tape or clamp power cord to discharge pipe, clear of the float
mechanism(s).
6. Use full-size discharge pipe.
7. Basin must be in accordance with applicable codes and specifications.
8. Pump must be level and float mechanism(s) clear of sides of basin before
starting pump.
9. Basin must be clean and free of debris after installation.
10. Gate Valve or Ball Valve to be supplied by installer and installed
according to any and all codes.
11. Locate float switches as shown in sketches. The best place for the
“off” point is above the motor housing and positioned 180° from
the inlet. Never put “off” point below discharge on pump (Sewage &
Effluent only). NOTE: FOR AUTOMATIC PUMPS, USE DEWATERING
INSTALLATION SKETCH.
12. Gas tight seals required to contain gases and odors.
13. Vent gases and odors to the atmosphere through vent pipe (Sewage &
Dewatering only).
14. Install Pump Stand under pump to provide a settling basin. (Effluent &
Dewatering only.)
For Effluent Only:
15. Wire pump to power through a watertight junction box or watertight
splice. NOTE: Watertight enclosure is a must in damp areas.
16. Refer to SSPMA Effluent Sizing Manual for determining “on” - “off”
switches.
17. Septic tank risers must be used for easy pump and filter access.
