Pump & Pipe

Installation Instructions

There are two basic methods that can be used to
install the pump, a direct discharge to the
outside of the building, or a connection to an
existing discharge pipe. The same two options
apply in very narrow sump pits where the backup
pump must be mounted above the main pump.
Use a pit that conforms to all local codes, and
check the code to see if a gate valve or ball
valve if is required. Whenever possible, install
your Pro Series backup pump with a direct
discharge to the outdoors. By using this
method, there will always be an outlet for the
water from the sump. During times of very
heavy rain, many storm sewers fill up. If your
pump is trying to discharge water into a full
sewer, there is nowhere for the water to go. By
discharging directly outdoors, there is always an
outlet for the water that is pumped out of the
sump. For this method, you will need to drill a
hole through a floor joist or the foundation from
the basement to the outside of the house.
If the direct discharge method is not possible or
convenient, the Pro Series pump can be
connected to the same line as your main AC
sump pump by installing a "Y" connector and
two (2) check valves.
In most cases, the backup pump will fit next to
the main AC pump in the sump pit. In very
narrow pits, the backup pump can be mounted
above the main AC pump. Try to fit the backup
pump on the floor of the sump first. Make sure
there is enough room so the backup pump and
the main pump do not touch each other.
Select the installation method that will best suit
your needs from the diagrams at the right. Full
instructions for each installation method are
provided on the following pages.
Installation will take a couple hours.
