Vertical Lift
Vertical lift is the vertical distance from the
lowest level of the water to the pump intake. The
pump will move water as long as the pump is
within 25 vertical feet of the water source.
horizontal distance
The horizontal distance is the horizontal
measurement between the pump inlet and the
water source. This distance may affect the ability
of the pump to operate. If it is over 150 feet, call
customer service at 1-800-742-5044.
Pipe And Fittings
Use galvanized steel or NSF PW Schedule 40
PVC pipe and fittings. This material is designed
for water pressure and will seal against air
and water under pressure. Do Not Use: DWV
fittings, as these are designed for drains without
pressure and will not seal properly.
cAUTION: The entire system must be
air and water tight for efficient operation and to
maintain prime.
Wire Size:
The wire size is determined by the distance
from the breaker box to the pump motor, and
the horsepower rating of the motor. See the wire
chart on page 15 for proper wire size.

cAUTION: Follow all proper gluing procedures as specified by the glue manufacturer. Always glue
in a vertical direction whenever possible to prevent glue from dripping inside pipe or fittings

unions. Tighten securely with a wrench and add another 1/4 turn to ensure proper seal.
