Installation (See Figure 1)
NOTICE: The basin (system) should be located at the low-
est place possible relative to the area to be drained.
1. Place the pump with an in-line check valve in the basin.
Attach the discharge hose to the check valve.
2. Remove the paper backing from the gasket and install
the gasket around the edge of the opening in the basin,
sticky side down. Do not cover the threaded inserts.
3. Run the electrical cords through the hole in the cover as
shown. Slip the cord grommet over the cords and install
the grommet in the cover, lip side up.
4. Install the discharge grommet in the cover, lip up.
Lubricate the discharge pipe with soapy water and insert
the pipe 10" - 12" through the grommet.
5. Slip this end of the discharge pipe into the upper end of
the hose. Secure both ends of the hose with hose
clamps.
6. Work the cover assembly down the discharge pipe until
the cover is seated on the basin. Tighten the cover
down on the basin with the 8 capscrews and washers.
Compress the gasket material, but do not overtighten.
7. Gently pull the slack out of electrical cords.
8. Install the vent grommet, larger diameter of fitting up.
9. Lubricate the vent pipe with soapy water and insert the
vent pipe into the vent grommet. The pipe should
extend no more than 2" into the basin. Connect the vent
pipe to sewer vent system.
10.Install the inlet pipe into the basin opening. Use
Teflon™ tape to seal the pipe threads. For typical instal-
lation arrangements see Figures 2, 3, and 4.
NOTICE: Do not use ordinary pipe joint compound on
plastic pipe. Pipe joint compound can attack plastics.

11.Check system operation by filling the basin with water
and observing system operation through one complete
cycle.
Risk of Flooding. Flooding can cause
personal injury or property damage. Failure to make
this operational check may lead to improper operation,
premature failure, and flooding.To avoid flooding, wash-
ing machine discharge should pump into a laundry tub
which drains into the sink tray basin. Do not allow a
washing machine to drain directly into the sink tray
basin.
Be sure vent pipe does not interfere with switch action.
Risk of electric shock. Shock can burn
or kill. Pump should always be electrically grounded to
a suitable electrical ground such as a grounded water
pipe or a properly grounded metallic raceway, or a
ground wire system. Do not cut off round ground pin.
Do not handle a pump or pump motor with wet hands or
when standing on a wet or damp surface, or in water. If
basement floor is wet, do not walk on wet area until all
power is turned off. If shut-off box is in basement, call
the electric company to shut off service to the house, or
call your local fire department for instructions. Remove
pump and repair or replace.
Install according to local and national electrical codes.
Risk of Explosion. Can cause severe
injury, property damage or death. Do not use in
explosive atmospheres. Pump water only through this
sink tray system.
