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 Clarus Environmental Unicheck (combination union and
check valve), preferably just above the basin to allow easy removal of
the pump for cleaning or repair. On sewage, effluent or dewatering, if
high head or below cover installation is required use 30-0164 on 1½"
pipe, 30-0152 on 2" pipe and 30-0160 on 3" pipe. 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 Unicheck 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.
(High Head unit see #3 under “Caution” on front page). 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.
(12) Gas tight seals required to contain gases and odors.
(13) Install Clarus Environmental Pump Stand (Model 10-2421) under
pump to provide a settling basin.
(14) Wire pump to power through a Clarus Environmental watertight
junction box or watertight splice.
(15) Refer to SSPMA Effluent Sizing Manual for determining “on” - “off”
switches.
(16) Septic tank risers must be used for easy pump and filter access.
SINGLE PHASE WIRING INSTRUCTIONS
FOR YOUR PROTECTION, ALWAYS DISCONNECT PUMP FROM ITS POWER SOURCE BEFORE HANDLING. Single phase
pumps are supplied with a 3-prong grounded plug to help protect you against the possibility of electrical shock. DO NOT UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES
REMOVE THE GROUND PIN. The 3-prong plug must be inserted into a mating 3-prong grounded receptacle. If the installation does not have such
a receptacle, it must be changed to the proper type, wired and grounded in accordance with the National Electrical Code and all applicable local codes
and ordinances.
“Risk of electrical shock” Do not remove power supply cord and strain relief or connect conduit directly to the pump.
Installation and checking of electrical circuits and hardware should be performed by a qualified licensed electrician.
Units supplied without a plug (single and three phase) and single phase nonautomatic units with a 20 amp plug must have a motor
control and liquid level control provided at time of installation. The control device should have suitable voltage, ampere, frequency, grounding and
horsepower rating for the pump to which it is connected.
IMPORTANT NOTICE: Some insurance policies, both commercial and residential, extend coverage for damages incurred by product failure. You
will need to have possession of the product to support your claim in most cases. Clarus Environmental will exchange the unit or refund the original
purchase price once the claim is settled with the insurer in the case where you need to retain possession of the product to support a damage claim
you submit to your insurance company.
On some installations it may be desirable
to install an independent hanger for the
level control switches to avoid possible
hang ups on the pumps, piping, valves,
etc. Float hangers are available from
Clarus Environmental or can be fabricated
from standard pipe and fittings.
