rubber coupling (with clamps) will be needed if you want to use the other
top inlet. If one of the top inlets is not being used, a cap is provided to
cover this inlet.
Connection to a bathtub / shower
When adding a bathtub / shower, a base will have to be constructed. This
base should be made out of a 2"x 6"(minimum) or 2"x8" (recommended) on
edge, to allow for the installation of a P-trap and the required 1/4" per foot
gravity flow towards the pump unit.
Discharge connection
The waste water being evacuated by this device must be discharged using
a 1, 1-1/4, 1-1/2 inch diameter copper or plastic (PVC, CPVC) pipe. This
pump is designed to handle 3/8" particles. The discharge pipe must be
connected to a drain line or sewer line using an approved "Y" fitting
designed for this purpose.
Make sure to only use 1", 1-1/4", 1-1/2" rigid pipe for the dischargr as well
as 45 degree elbows along installation .Do not use 90 degree elbows. If
long sweeping elbows are not available, use two 45 degree elbows
back-to-back to make a 90 degree tum.
Ensure that the angle of slope is 1/4" per foot for horizontal drain sections
leading up to the main drain stack to ensure drainage by gravity.
Install an optional full port ball valve at the bottom of the drain pipe riser to
allow shut off in case of repairs.
Vertical installation first
If vertical lift is required, this must precede the horizontal pipe run.
Connection to a ventilation system
The unit has been designed with a vent connection on the top of the pump.
All plumbing codes require a connection to a vent system. Connect your
vent system using the provided 1-1/2"x 2" rubber coupling to connect to
you PVC pipe.
Please note that the vent system should be a two-way air vent.The use of
mechanical vents, air admittance valves or similar devices are not
permitted as these are considered one-way air vent systems.
