4 Cut a piece of 1-1/2” PVC to this length. Using
sound plumbing practices install the discharge pipes.
5 Insert the rubber union into the vertical discharge
pipe. Be sure there is ample coverage between
the rubber union and vertical discharge pipe.
6 Tighten both upper and lower hose clamps on the
rubber union.
7 After completing the installation, be sure to check
the pump operation by lling the sump pit with
water and observing the pump through one full
cycle. While the pump is activated, water will come
out of the 1/8” hole located in the Quick Connect
Pipe. This is normal. The hole is needed to
prevent an air lock within the system. Do NOT
obstruct this hole or an air lock may prevent the
pump from operating.
