Pump & Pipe
Installation Instructions
(Hookup to Existing Discharge Pipe)
METHOD Bb: HOOKUP TO AN
EXISTING DISCHARGE PIPE
FOR NARROW SUMP PITS
(Diagram Bb)
1. Attach an "L" bracket to the dis-
charge pipe of the main AC pump
with two (2) stainless steel hose
clamps. Position the bracket so the
bottom of the "L" is just above the
top of the main pump, and out of the
way of any float switch on the main
pump.
2. (a) Remove the black bottom
strainer of the pump by pressing in
the two tabs on the strainer. There
are holes suitable for mounting on
the bottom of the strainer. (b) Using
a #8-32x
3 / 4 " stainless screw, washer
and nut, attach the strainer to the "L"
bracket.
(c) Once the strainer is
attached, simply press the pump
body onto the mounted strainer.
3. Cut a three-foot (3’) piece of 1 1 / 2 "
rigid PVC pipe and cement it to the
threaded fitting that is attached to
the elbow on the pump.
4. (a) Install a check valve on the PVC
pipe attached to the Pro Series 2200
pump. (b) IMPORTANT: WHEN A
CHECK VALVE IS USED, DRILL A
1 / 8 " HOLE IN THE 1 1 / 2 " PVC PIPE
THREE INCHES (3") ABOVE THE
CONNECTION TO THE PRO
SERIES 2200 PUMP. Drill the hole at
a 45˚ angle toward the bottom of the
sump to avoid splashing water
outside the sump pit. If a
1 / 8 " hole is
not drilled above the pump, an air lock
may prevent the pump from pumping.
5. If there is no check valve on the
pipe of the main AC pump, one
must be installed at this time. Then
install a "Y" connector above the
check valve on the discharge pipe
for the main AC pump.
6. Secure the pump wire so that the
plug on the end will not fall into the
sump. Attach the wire to the pipe
with tape.
7. Connect a 1 1 / 2 " diameter discharge
pipe above the check valve of the
Pro Series pump, and attach a 45˚
elbow to that pipe. Extend another
piece of pipe to reach the "Y"
connector you have inserted above
the check valve on the discharge
pipe of the main pump.
8. Cement or clamp all connections
securely to prevent leaking.
