INSTALLATION STEPS FOR VERTICAL APPLICATION
see typical installation diagram in page 4
We recommend that you install your pump in a clean and dry location where there is
adequate room for servicing at a later date. Protection from freezing temperatures and good
ventilation should be considered as well, to provide the pump an environment for long life.
Locate the pump directly under the strainer of laundry tub or sink as per installation diagram
(see page 4).
Friction losses in the discharge pipe must be taken into consideration when many elbows and
fittings are installed in the discharge line. Each elbows and fittings must be considered as 1
feet of head.
Never run the pump dry. Damage to the seal may occur.
THE RUN OF THE PIPE FROM THE CHECK VALVE TO THE EXISTING
WASTE OR DRAIN LINE MUST NEVER BE SLOOPING DOWNWARD
EXCEPT WHEN CONNECTING TO SAME.
Using teflon tape, install the female portion of the union under the laundry tub to the threaded
male adaptor of the strainer and screw the male part of the union, into the female pump
intake. Then screw the union to hold the pump securely in place.
Using teflon tape, screw the check valve to the pump discharge and aligned towards the
planned discharge line.
From the check valve, run your length of discharge pipe, using elbows and fittings, in your
shortest possible run to the existing waste or drain line.
Test pump operation by filling laundry tub with water. Connect the 3 prong plug (never run
the pump dry) in a receptacle to activate the pump motor (Important notice: The electrical
outlet must be activated by a wall switch) Check all plumbing connections for leaks and
correct where necessary.
Unplug (turn off wall switch) to stop the motor.
