INSTALLATION STEPS
FRICTION LOSS IN
PIPE NOT INCLUDED
USGPH
We recomm end that you install your pump in a clean 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. Do not use to pump gas or toxic fuels. This
submersible sump pump is designed to pump water only.
Friction losses in the discharge pipe must be taken into consideration when the hor-
izontal offset is greater than 50 feet. The discharge pipe should be increased from 1
1/2” to 2”. This will reduce friction losses and allow the pump to give maximum per-
formance.
Additional friction losses must also be taken into consideration when many elbows
and fittings are installed in the discharge line. Each elbows and fittings must be con-
sidered as 1 feet of head.
The float switch of your pump has been pre-set at the factory and does not need any
adjustment.
Never run the pump dry. Damage to the seal may occur. Fill pump pit or sump basin
with water before turning on the power.
Assuming that you have a sump pit located in your basement floor... Your sump pit
should be constructed from concrete, brick, tile or more recently a sump basin made
from plastic and/or fiberglass. The minimum size of your sump pit must be 18” in
diameter and no less than 25” deep. When pit is ready, proceed to next step.
