Electrical
Information
Diagram 1 shows the various
connections that must be made for
proper installation and operation.
This is only a guide; actual
installation may vary depending on
the particular situation.
Inlet:
A 1-1/2" inlet is provided on the
118-5 Hide-Away Basin System. One
method of hookup is to use a 1-1/2"
PVC MIP adapter or a 1-1/2" PVC
MIP marvel connection (or a similar
type of connection). You may use a
1-1/2" extension tailpiece or 1-1/2"
PVC pipe; it depends on the type of
fittings used on the basin inlet. The
P-Trap should be installed once the
appropriate connections are made on
the basin inlet. Once these fittings are
installed the rest of the piping may be
plumbed.
Vent:
Provision has been made for a 2" vent
to allow maximum volume for any
application and proper operation of
pump. The vent may be reduced to no
less than 1-1/4". Venting is essential
for proper pump operation and should
not be omitted. The 118-5 Hide-Away
Basin System may be vented into an
existing vent stack or use a BOCA in-
line vent. Check local codes.
Discharge:
Do not restrict discharge line below
1-1/4". A check valve MUST be
installed to prevent backflow of
water after each cycle. If you are

carefully read instructions again to
make sure correct procedure has been
followed.
Note: The basin strainer requires
routine maintenance. The strainer
should be removed and cleaned
monthly to prevent clogging.

(at HYDROMATIC’s choice). You must pay all labor and shipping charges associated with this warranty and
must request warranty service through the installing dealer as soon as a problem is discovered. No request
for service will be accepted if received after the Warranty Period has expired. This warranty is not transferable.
EXCEPTIONS: Hydromatic Special Application Pumps, Battery Back-Up Sump Pumps, Filtered Effluent
Pumps, Grinder Pumps, and 2-1/2" Sewage Pumps are warranted for a period of 12 months from date of
purchase or 18 months from date of manufacture, whichever comes first.
