Guidelines For Installation Of Lifting Station - Grundfos Multilift MD Montage- Und Bedienungsanletung

7.2 Guidelines for installation of lifting station

The guidelines for correct mechanical installation of lifting station
are according to EN 12056-4.
See section 7.1.1 Installation sketches.
• Install the lifting station in a properly lit and vented room with
60 cm free space around all parts to be serviced and operated.
• Provide a pump sump below the floor level. If a lifting station is
installed in a basement with the risk of penetrating
groundwater, it is advisable (in certain countries required) to
install a drainage pump in a separate pump sump below floor
level in order to drain the room. See figures
The collecting tank, pump and cables may be flooded

The controller must be installed in a dry and well

ventilated place.
• All pipe connections must be flexible to reduce resonance.
• Lifting stations must be secured against uplift and twist.
• All discharge pipes from lifting station, diaphragm pump and
drainage pump must have a bend above the local backwater
level. The highest point of the bend/reversed water seal must
be above street level. See figures
• For discharge pipes, DN 80 and upwards, install an isolating
valve in the discharge pipe. Also provide an isolating valve in
the inlet line.
• Surface water must not be discharged into the lifting station
inside the building. It must have its own pumping station
outside the building.
• Lifting stations must be provided with an approved non-return
valve according to EN 12050-4.
• The volume of the discharge pipe above the non-return-valve
up to the backwater level must be smaller than the effective
tank volume.
• In general, a lifting station for black wastewater must be
vented above roof level. However, it is permitted to lead the
ventilation, as a secondary ventilation, into the main building
ventilation system. Special venting valves (accessory) must be
placed outside the building.
• If the wastewater is discharged into a collecting line, this
collecting line must have a filling ratio of at least h/d = 0.7.
The collecting line must be at least one nominal diameter
bigger after the discharge pipe connection.
• The controller must be placed in a flood safe place and be
equipped with an alarm.
• Use a diaphragm pump for simple, manual draining of the
collecting tank in case of pump failure (not obligatory).

7.3 Procedure for installation of lifting station
7.3.1 Inlet pipe connections, Multilift MD
1. Check the scope of delivery.
For scope of delivery see section
2. Prepare the adjustable inlet on the back of Multilift MD.
The turnable inlet disk has a DN 100 inlet and allows the inlet
height to be adjusted to any height between 180 and 315 mm
above floor level. The most common heights, 180, 250 and
315 mm, are marked beside the inlet. See fig. 17. An inlet disk
with a DN 150 inlet is available as an accessory. See fig. 18.
The screws around the outer ring of the inlet disk are not fully
tightened allowing the inlet disk to be turned. This will allow
the inlet to be adjusted to the desired inlet height. When the
desired inlet height has been set, tighten all screws.
All screws must be tightened to max. 9 Nm.
Before connecting Multilift MD, consider that when
turning the inlet disk to fit to the height of the inlet

pipe, the lifting station and the discharge will move
sideways accordingly (max. 72.5 mm). See fig. 17.
