Installation of a Backup System on a Common Discharge (For 12 VDC Backup Systems SPBS-10HF and SPBS-12HF which do not include a 115 V primary sump pump assembly) s ! WARNING Comply with all national and local electrical and plumbing codes when installing this unit.
s ! WARNING CAUTION Reduction of plumbing sizes from what is used for the discharges of the primary 115 VAC pump and 12 VDC pump can result in system underperformance. Discharge piping that is of insufficient size can result in premature pump and/ or system operation failure. Figure 2 Drill 3/16" hole Step 1 Step 2 Step 3 Step 4 Step 5 Step 6 ! NOTICE: Do not glue any parts until the entire assembly, including primary pump, has been dry-assembled to verify fits.
Step 6 a. Cable Ties (1) and (2) will be used to attach the 12 VDC pump control switch housing and power cord to the discharge pipe. Installing both cable ties to 12 VDC pump control switch is critical for proper operation of 12 VDC pump. (see Figure 1). b. Thread cable tie (1) through the eyelets on the 12 VDC pump control switch housing. c. Position the 12 VDC pump control switch on the discharge pipe such that cable tie (1) is 4" to 6" above the “ON” water level of the 115 VAC primary pump. d.
