Little Giant BS2448PBHP-K User manual

INTRODUCTION
These instructions are for the typical installation of a Little Giant
Pump Company Basin Package System. This package system
includes a rugged polyethylene or fiberglass basin, equipped with
either a guide rail system for easy access to the pump or a
hard-piped system. The inlet to the basin is to be field installed (see
Figures 2 and 4) and uses a 4" Adapt-A-Flex fitting. The hole for
routing of the electrical cord(s) is to be field installed (See Figures 2
and 4) and uses a 2" Adapt-A-Flex fitting. These fittings are
constructed from neoprene plastic, are easy to install and require
no sealants. This design has boltless vapor and water leakproof
sealing ability.
I. BASIN INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
(See Figure 3)
1. Inspect all materials supplied by and/or installed by Little Giant
Pump Company to assure there are no damages due to
shipping prior to installation.
2. Excavate hole large enough to accommodate basin, usually 12" –
18" larger than the diameter of the basin, and 4"- 6" deeper than the
basin depth. Also, hole should be able to accommodate under
ground piping, backfill material and adequate working space.
3. Prepare the bottom of the excavated hole with 4" - 6" of backfill
material or concrete pad. Check base to insure it is level and
smooth.
4. Install basin on gravel base or concrete pad. Anchor down if
necessary. Basin to be installed only in vertical position.
5. For fiberglass basins, concrete may be poured around bottom
basin bottom if ballast is required for buoyancy.
6. Plumb all inlet and discharge piping as well as the electrical
piping for internal junction box (Not Included). Inlet pipe is
recommended to be 4" Schedule 40 PVC to accommodate 4"
Adapt-A-Flex fitting (see Figure 2 and step 5 for installation tips).
Discharge piping for the pump and electrical cords is
recommended to be either Schedule 40 or 80 1-1/4" PVC piping,
depending on local codes and installer recommendation (see
Figure 1). Basin is to be vented per local plumbing codes.
7. Backfill with pea gravel 4" to 6" around the entire periphery of
the basin. Compact backfill material in 12" lifts. Stop and
connect piping as required. If using concrete as backfill on
poly-basin, the basin should be filled with water to provide
support and stabilization.
RECOMMENDED BACKFILL MATERIAL
Gravel or stone to be free flowing, naturally round aggregate
with a particle size of not less than 1/8" and not greater than 3/4"
in diameter.
CAUTION: Do not bury basin deeper than basin height. In freezing
conditions backfill material must be dry and free of ice.
II. PUMP INSTALLATION
RAIL SYSTEM BASINS
1. Fully thread the nut onto discharge pipe. Place lower guide rail
onto discharge pipe, below the nut (See Figure 1).
2. Apply teflon tape to discharge pipe threads. Thread discharge
pipe into pump discharge until disconnect and pump are
oriented as shown (See Figure 4). Make sure that the discharge
pipe is tight.
3. With discharge pipe installed, orient lower guide rail as shown in
Figure 4 and tighten nut. The lower guide rail should now be in
alignment with the upper guide rail.
4. Attach the lifting chain to the clevis and eye bolt. Attach chain to
wire handle on pump and eye bolt on disconnect.
5. Determine the center of gravity of pump by making adjustments
to the clevis location on the chain.
6. Lift pump and lower down into basin.
7. Position pump so the lower guide is aligned with the rail. Slowly
lower pump into basin and position upper guide so that it is
aligned with the rail (See Figure 4).
8. Pump and disconnect assembly should slide rail down until the
disconnect is seated.
9. Make appropriate electrical connections and mount junction
box at desired location.
HARD-PIPED BASINS
NOTE: HARD-PIPED INSTALLATIONS REQUIRE USE OF THE
LITTLE GIANT GRINDER LEG KIT
1. Install Little Giant Grinder Leg Kit on pump.
2. Apply teflon tape to discharge pipe assembly.
3. Thread discharge pipe into discharge of pump.
4. Attach lifting chain to the clevis and then attach to the wire
handle on top of pump.
5. Lift pump and lower down into basin.
6. Orient the pump assembly as shown (See Figure 4) and connect
the assembly to the pipe fitting in basin.
7. Make appropriate electrical connections and mount junction
box, if needed, at desired location.
III. JUNCTION BOX WIRING
(JUNCTION BOX NOT INCLUDED)
All wiring connections coming from the pump and/or to the control
panels should be made within a junction box in accordance with
national, state, local and NEC codes where applicable.

IV. ADAPT-A-FLEX INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
(See Figure 2)

easy to install and require no sealants. The Adapt-A-Flex design
has boltless and water leakproof sealing ability.
4" Adapt-A-Flex seal (for inlet):
1. Using a 5.0" hole saw, cut an opening in tank sidewall and seat
Adapt-A-Flex fitting as shown.
2. For ease of installation chamfer ends of pipe before inserting
through the Adapt-A-Flex.
3. Lubricate pipe with soapy water and insert as shown.
2" Adapt-A-Flex seal (for electrical):
1. Using a 3.0" hole saw, cut an opening in tank sidewall and seat
Adapt-A-Flex fitting as shown.
2. For ease of installation chamfer ends of pipe before inserting
through the Adapt-A-Flex.
