SUBMERSIBLE SUMP PUMPS
IMPORTANT PRE-INSTALLATION
INFORMATION
All electrical work must be
performed by a qualified
technician. Always follow the
National Electrical Code (NEC),
or the Canadian Electrical Code,
as well as all local, state and
provincial codes.
The pump must be connected to a dedicated
electrical circuit protected by a properly sized
circuit breaker or fuses. Install a ground fault
disconnect where required by code. Code
questions should be directed to your electrical
inspector. See Chart 1 for specific information.
Disconnect electrical power before installing or
servicing the pump. The motor’s automatic
thermal overload protection may allow an
overheated pump to restart unexpectedly.
Pump is not designed for use in swimming pools,
open bodies of water, hazardous liquids, or where
flammable gases exist.
Pumps and floats equipped with a 3-prong
grounded plug must be connected to a 3-wire
receptacle. Do not attach to extensions or
connectors without a 3-prong grounded plug.
Removing the plug from the power cord is
allowable as long as the hard wiring is done per
code by a qualified technician. Removing the
plug will not void the warranty or agency listing.

pump discharge to insure optimum performance.
Using undersized pipe may dramatically reduce the
flow and therefore waste energy. Your pump supplier
can suggest the correct pipe for your installation.
3.2. Install a threaded pipe adapter, matched to the pipe
type you are using, into the threaded pump
discharge. One end will have a male thread and the
other end will have a barbed connector, compression
fitting or solvent weld connector. Use Teflon® tape
on all threaded joints. If using solvent welded pipe
and fittings it is best to dry fit them first and after
verifying the fit, solvent weld. A union installed just
above the sump or basin cover will facilitate future
maintenance and replacement. See Chart 1 for
discharge sizes.
3.3. Install a line check valve within 2 feet of the pump.
Install per valve manufacturer’s instructions.
IMPORTANT – Drill a 1⁄8" (3.2mm) relief hole in the
discharge line approximately 2" (51mm) above the
pump discharge connection but below the check
valve and within the sump. This “relief” hole allows
trapped air to escape from the pump and prevents
air-locking the pump. Failure to drill this hole is a
major cause of sump pumps failing to pump after
long periods of inactivity such as seasonal use.
4. INSTALLATION IN SUMP
4.1. The pump can be placed directly on the bottom of a
poly or fiberglass sump basin or a concrete sump
bottom. If the bottom is packed gravel the stones
must be larger than
1⁄2" (13mm) in diameter and the pump should be
placed on bricks for support.
4.2. After connecting the discharge pipe to the pump it
can be lowered into the sump (basin). Always lower
the pump by the handle and the pipe, never by the
power cord. Place the pump against the basin wall
so the switch is to the center. See Figure 1.

1. GENERAL INFORMATION
1.1. Sump pumps are designed to operate intermittently
and usually seasonally. It is recommended that you
test the pump before your rainy season begins to
insure that the pump and switch are operating properly.
1.2. We suggest installing a high water alarm system
and a battery back-up pump system for finished
basements or areas where flooding will cause
property damage. A back-up generator is another
option you can discuss with your pump installer.
Most power outages occur during rain storms, just
when you need your sump pump the most! Pump
manufacturer's warranties cover only the pump.
Labor and incidental damage such as flooding is not
covered.
2. PRE-INSTALLATION CHECKS
2.1. Open all cartons and inspect for shipping damage.
Report any damage to your supplier immediately.
2.2. Verify that all equipment is the correct voltage.
Warranty does not cover damage caused by
connecting pumps and controls to incorrect voltage.
2.3. Is your basin sized correctly and the proper type for
the location?
Diameter – It must be wide enough to allow the
pump and switch to physically fit and provide room
for the switch to operate freely. See “min. basin
diameter” in Chart 1.
Depth – It must be deeper than the
minimum depth at which the switch
turns the pump On. As an example, if the pump turns on
at 15" you want to use a basin deeper than 15".
See "On level" in Chart 1.
Style – There are several sump basin
styles available. The location of the
sump determines if you require a cover and what type
you require. It is important to keep debris from entering
the sump and clogging the pump. An open sump in a
traffic area such as a basement is dangerous. If children
or pets will be playing in the area a bolt-on or child-proof
cover is recommended.
3. PIPING
3.1. Discharge pipe should be the same size as the

4.3. Check to insure all piping connections are tight. The
pipes should be supported by fastening to floor
joists or wall. This will prevent the pump from
moving in the sump. If it moves the switch could get
stuck and either keep the pump running or not let it
turn on.
4.4. The power to the outlet should be Off at this point.
The dedicated outlet should supply power only to
the pump.
4.5. Piggyback/Two Power Cords – insert the piggyback
switch male plug into a dedicated power outlet. You
then plug the standard male pump plug into the
back, female side, of the piggyback switch plug.
See Figure 2.
4.6. Fasten the power cords to the discharge pipes using
tie wraps or electrical tape. Coil and store any
excess power cord outside the sump.
5. OPERATION
5.1. Turn the power On at the breaker panel and/or the
disconnect switch.
5.2. Fill the basin with water and observe where the
pump turns On and Off. It should go On well before
the water overflows the top of the sump. The pump
should go Off before the water goes below the pump
suction. The On-Off cycle with wide-angle float
switches is adjustable. Adjustment is made by
changing the tether length between the switch body
and the switch tether (pivot) point. The tether length
cannot be less than 3" – 3.5". Tethers less than 3"
may not allow the float to drop down enough to turn
off. See Figures 1, 3, 4 and 5.
5.3. Install a cover on the sump basin
if there is a danger of debris,
children, or pets falling into the basin. See Basin
“Style” in Section 2.3.
6. SEASONAL SERVICE / MAINTENANCE
6.1. If your sump pump only operates seasonally and
then sits idle for months it is recommended that you
test the pump before your rainy season begins. Fill
the sump with water and check for debris and
proper switch operation. Remove any debris which
could clog the suction strainer or jam the switch.
Insure that the switch operates freely and does not hit
the sump wall or hang-up on piping or power cords.
7. TROUBLE SHOOTING
Extreme caution should be exercised when servicing
electrical devices. Fatal injuries could result from electri-
cal shock. Always disconnect the electrical power from
the device being serviced unless it is necessary for the
work being done.
