1. Inspect your Zoeller Pump Company Tru-Flow®Splitter System

unit. Occasionally products are damaged during shipment. If unit is

damaged, contact your dealer before starting the installation.

2. Carefullyreadtheliteratureandinstallationinstructionstofamiliarize

yourself with specic details regarding installation. These materials

should be retained for future reference.

3. The use of an efuent lter is strongly recommended in order to

protect components downstream from the septic tank.

Note: The TRU-FLOW®Splitter System must sit level on undisturbed ground or on packed sand or gravel

before backfilling.

1. Zoeller Pump Company Tru-Flow®Splitter Systems are designed for installation on the outlet pipe of the septic tank. If a complete system

has been purchased, all the components will be included except the trench pipes, ttings, and any necessary risers (See Figure Below).

2. If the Zoeller Pump Company Tru-Flow® Splitter System is being retrotted into an existing septic system, it may be necessary to pump and

clean out the septic tank before attempting to install the splitter system.

3. The septic tank outlet pipe and all trench pipes should be exposed or accessible for connections or insertion to the splitter system.

Splitter System

STEP 1 Splitter System Outlets

1.1) Determine the number of outlets to be used on the

splitter system based on the layout of the trench eld.

When pumping to the splitter system, optimum results

are obtained if:

a.) Installations requiring 4 slot openings/trench lines

utilize slot openings 1, 2, 4, & 5.

b.) Installations requiring 3 slot openings/trench lines

utilize slot openings 1, 3, & 5.

1.2) Score and cut through with a knife at the bottom of

v-groove. If required score several times around and

cut through. DO NOT HIT WITH A HAMMER.

1.3) Trim and clean the diameter of the hole, leaving it the same

as the molded diameter. DONOTOVERTRIMDIAMETER.

Refer to Figure 2.2

STEP 2 Installation of Pipe Seals and Slotted Pipe Nipple

Splitter system is supplied with pipe seals that accommodates 4" SDR 35 and Sch 40 pipe.

2.1) Apply sealant around mating surface of pipe seal as shown in Figure 2.1. Repeat for each required pipe seal.

2.2) Place pipe seals in necessary holes as shown in Figure 2.2 & Figure 2.3.

2.3) Insert slotted pipe nipple through the inlet hole and pipe seal, pushing through about 3/4". See Figure 2.4.

Note: Assure the slot end of the pipe nipple is inside the basin and the slot is facing upward and centered.

Figure 2.1 Figure 2.3

STEP 3 Installation of Assembled Basin

3.1) Set basin into place.

3.2) Insert necessary trench pipes into basin, pushing through

approximately 1-1/2". See Figure 3.1. The number of pipes

varies for each installation.

3.3) Connect the inlet pipe to slotted pipe nipple with a coupling

(exible rubbers shown). Do not tighten coupling at this

time. If used see Figure 3.2.

3.4) Installations in which the splitter system will be pumped to

are required to have at least a 3' length of 4" PVC and a 4"

elbow connected to the slotted pipe nipple. See Figure 3.3

for required positioning of elbow. This piping conguration

will promote smooth uniform ow. The piping from the pump

to the elbow should be sized based on the pump discharge.

Use bushings/reducers as necessary to connect to the

elbow.

3.5) Maximum ow through the splitter system is dependent on

thenumber oftrench pipeopenings. Thesplittersystemcan

handle 30 gpm with 5 openings, 21 gpm with 4 openings,

17 gpm with 3 openings and 13 gpm with 2 openings.

Note: Assure slot in pipe nipple is centered and facing upward

when connecting coupling or PVC.

Note: Basin must be leveled at this time in both directions.

Note: The splitter system must sit level on undisturbed ground or

on packed sand or gravel before backlling.

STEP 5 Installation of Diverter and Thumb Screw

5.1) Set diverter into place and insert slotted pipe nipple

into the diverter. See Figure 5.1.

5.2) Engage 3/8"-16 thumb screw and large washer

onto the diverter as shown in gure 5.2. DO NOT

OVERTIGHTEN THUMB SCREW.

5.3) Slide diverter and slotted pipe nipple as far forward

as possible, see arrow in Figure 5.1.

5.4) Tighten rubber coupling, which connects inlet

pipe and slotted pipe nipple.

Figure 5.1 Figure 5.2

STEP 6 Installation of Level and Initial Adjustment

6.1) Snap level into the diverter. See Figure 6.1.

6.2) Level the diverter by use of the thumb screw and tap the bottom surface of

the diverter at “A” & “B” see Figure 6.1.

See Figure 6.2. DO NOT OVER TIGHTEN THUMB SCREW.

Figure 6.2

STEP 7 Installation of Riser and Cover

7.1) Apply ample amounts of RTV Silicone to outside of SCH40 or SDR35 pipe (supplied by others).

7.2) Attach riser pipe SCH40 or SDR35 (supplied by others) to cover as shown in Figure 7.1.

7.3) Place an ample coating of RTV Silicone around the basin lip to form a gasket.

7.4) Place cover onto basin, then attach washers and screws as shown in Figure 7.2. Repeat where necessary.

7.5) Fill in dirt around splitter system, necessary pipes, connections, risers, and trenches.

Note: Assure riser opening is capped to prevent debris from entering the splitter system. Do not glue cap.

Flag location of splitter system riser to prevent damage.

Note: Do not over tighten screws.

STEP 4 Installation of Slot Covers

4.1) Determine the required number of slot covers from Figure 1.1 and the required

bafe slot for each slot cover. See Figure 4.1.

4.2) Blank slot covers should be installed in the bafe slot openings of 2, 3 and 4 if their

corresponding cutouts are not to be used for trench pipes. See Figure 1.1 and

4.1. When cutouts 2 and/or 3 and/or 4 are used and the splitter system is being

pumped to, these bafe slots must have slot covers with the restrictor opening

installed.

4.3) Apply RTV Silicone or PVC cement to the bottom and sides of the necessary slot

cover. See Figure 4.2.

4.4) Place slot cover into bafe slot. Apply additional RTV Silicon or PVC cement as

needed along edges. See Figure 4.2. Repeat steps 4.3 & 4.4 for each required slot

cover.

Note: Assure each required slot cover is sealed to prevent leakage into D-Box basin.

STEP 8 Final Adjustment

8.1) Check the level on the diverter. If adjustment is not needed, proceed to the next step. If adjustment is needed, reference the Maintenance

Instructions (below) for proper adjustment and leveling of the diverter.

Your new Zoeller Pump Company Splitter System is now in service.

Maintenance

1) Remove cap on riser.

2) Check the level on the diverter with ashlight. If the level does not

need adjustment, then maintenance is not required at this time. If

level is not centered between the lines, then proceed to the next

step.

3) Loosen the thumb screw (two full turns max) until the diverter can

be adjusted. The thumb screw can be adjusted by hand or by using

a 3/4" pipe ( not supplied) with a slot as shown in Figure A.1.

4) Using the 3/4" pipe, or by hand, tap at point “A” or “B” on the

bottom surface of the diverter until the diverter is level. See Step 6

on page 3, Figure 6.1.

5) Once the diverter is leveled, tighten the thumb screw until the

diverter is stationary. DO NOT OVERTIGHTEN THE THUMB SCREW.

Check bubble level with ashlight. If diverter becomes unlevel

during tightening, repeat steps 3, 4 and 5.

6) Replace cap on riser.

The splitter system should be checked annually in conjunction with your yearly septic system inspection.
