INSTALLATION STEPS FOR HORIZONTAL APPLICATION
see typical installation diagram in page 6
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.
Position the pump about 6” to the side of the tub. This will allow room for servicing.
Line up pump inlet connection to tub’s tail pipe and measure the pipes length required. Then,
cut to size and smooth the cut with a round file.
Using teflon tape and glue, install the piping to link up the strainer of the laundry tub to the
pump inlet. Never install a “P trap”. Install a regular elbow as shown in the diagram. Keep a
little slope from the elbow to the pump inlet.
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.
