Install Instructions

4.1.2 Piping checklist
Guideline Explanation
Discharge pipe should be the same size as the pump. This insures optimum performance. Undersized pipe can
dramatically reduce the flow and waste energy.
4.2 Typical installation
Typical pump installation in sump; Tether float shown, float not needed on models with

WARNING:
• Make sure that you have grounded (earthed) the pump, the drive unit, and the controls
before connecting the electrical power.
• Install, earth (ground), and wire the equipment according to the local and National
Electrical Code Requirements.
• Install a power switch near the pump that disconnects all the conductors.
• Disconnect and lock out electrical power before installing or servicing the unit.
• Electrical supply must be in accordance with the specifications given on the pump’s
nameplate.
• All splices must be waterproof. If using splice kits, follow manufacturer’s instructions.
• Select the correct type and NEMA grade junction box for the application and location.
The junction box must insure dry, safe wiring connections.
• Seal all controls from gases present which may damage electrical components.
• Failure to permanently ground the pump, motor and controls before connecting to
power can cause shock, burns, or death.
