General Application Information (cont.) safety reasons. You should never touch a sump pump or discharge piping while the pump is connected to electrical power and water is present. The pump should be disconnected from the electrical source before handling in all cases. Discharge Piping Installation To assure the maximum performance from your sump pump, the discharge pipe size and piping fittings should not be smaller than the discharge port of the pump.
General Application Information Basin and Cover The basin should not be less than 18 inches in diameter and 24 inches deep. Larger diameters are advisable in instances of increased pump capacity requirements: The basin should be located such that all water flows into the basin due to gravity. Outdoor installations should be at a sufficient depth to ensure protection from freezing.
Step 2: Attach desired length of PVC or ABS discharge pipe to pump outlet, using PVC adapter (1 " pipe and adapter for WSP33AA, 1 " WSP53AA, WSP73AA). Make sure open end of pipe will be above top of basin.
Electrical information • Pumps are 115 V, 60 Hz and are grounded to prevent electrical shock. WARNING: Risk of electric shock—this pump is supplied with a grounding conductor and grounding-type attachment plug. To reduce the risk of electric shock, be certain that it is connected only to a properly grounded, grounding- type receptacle.
PIPING Plastic PVC pipe is shown in the illustrations, but galvanized steel or copper pipe may be used if desired. All piping must be clean and free of all foreign matter to prevent clogging. Use thread compound on all threaded joints unless specified otherwise.
