- Page 3 1. Determine if the Retrofit Cover will fit by measuring the diameter of the sump. Universal’s Retrofit cover will fit sumps of diameter 27” to 34” as shown in Figure 1. 2. Place the Support Ring on top of the Sump with studs facing up as shown in Figure 2.
- Page 4 3. Measure the height of the collar as shown in Figure 3 to determine a suitable assembly method. NOTE: This height will determine which configuration will work best with the assembly. Select the best method as shown below to fit the predetermined height. NOTE: Tension Blocks can be cut (Rev 1-07)
- Page 5 4. Make sure the hooks of the turn-buckle are fully extended by screwing outwards. Hold the chain assembly, and place it inside the sump and connect to the hooks of the Support Ring as shown in Figure 4 below. Note: Be careful not to drop the chain assembly as it may damage pipes in the sump. (Rev 1-07)
- Page 6 5. Turn the Turn-Buckles in the direction that retracts the Support Ring tight onto the lip of the sump as shown in Figure 5. Make sure that the Support Block is resting against the inside surface of the sump. This must be done for which ever assembly method is used. Note: the Turn-Buckles must be turned to create as much tension as required to seal the Support Ring onto the lip of the sump.
- Page 7 6. Place the Sump Cover onto the surface of the Support Ring as shown in Figure 6. Holes of the cover should align with the studs of the Support Ring to allow surface contact. Insert by screwing in the access port cover into the access port as shown in the figure.
- Page 8 7. Secure the Sump Cover onto the Support Ring by screwing down with all 12 Wing nuts. NOTE: there is a gasket at the bottom of the Sump Cover. Tighten nuts with enough torque to create a complete seal. (Nuts should be tightened with a hand torque of about 20lb-in).
