This pump is recommended for use in basins or lift stations, and is suitable for pumping
effluent, wastewater, and other non-explosive, non-corrosive liquids. It can handle spherical
solids up to 3/4". Accessories such as check valves, and float switches are available
separately.
PRE-INSTALLATION CHECKLIST – ALL INSTALLATIONS
CAUTION: Purpose and importance of vent hole. The bottom intake design to reduce seal
failures and clogging is important and necessary for all submersible sump, effluent, and
sewage pumps to handle various sizes of solid wastes. When using a check valve, drill a vent
hole (1/8" or 3/16" diameter) in the discharge pipe below the check valve and pit cover to
purge the unit of trapped air which is caused by water agitation or a dry pit. You should check
and clean the vent hole periodically to avoid clogging. You may be reluctant to drill vent hole
on a high head application because of severe vibration. If so, must be sure that the pump case
and impeller are covered with liquid before connecting the discharge pipe to the check valve
in case inlet air carries to the pump intake. NOTE: VENT HOLE MUST BE BELOW THE PIT
COVER. You can see water stream from vent hole when pump runs.
CAUTION: This pump is intended to pump water only, with a maximum temperature of
105°F (40°C). Do not pump heated liquids.
CAUTION: The motor housing transfers heat to the volute. This pump is capable of
operating with the motor housing partially exposed for extended periods, while still providing
sufficient motor cooling and bearing lubrication. However, for the best cooling and longest
motor life, the level of the liquid being pumped should normally be above the top of the motor
housing.
1. Place the pump on a hard, level surface in a suitable, water-tight basin that is at least
11" (28 cm) diameter and 18" (46 cm) deep. Never place pump directly on clay, earth, or
gravel surfaces.
2. Install the pump with ABS, PVC, polyethylene, or galvanized steel pipe. Use the proper
adapters to connect plastic pipe to the pump.
3. Install a check valve in the discharge line to prevent the backflow of liquid into the basin.
The check valve should be a free-flow valve that will easily pass solids.
