Product Manual

Installing the Pipe and Pump
The Pro Series Pair of Pumps combination system
is compact and will fit in a sump pit as small as 12”
wide. It measures 23¾” inches from the bottom
of the pump stand to the top of the Y-connector
where it will be attached to the discharge pipe.
Use a pit that conforms to
all local codes, and check the
code to see if a gate valve or
ball valve if is required.
The path of the existing
vertical discharge pipe to an
exterior wall should have the
shortest path with the fewest
turns. The more turns will
reduce the pumping capacity.
The discharge pipe must be positioned in a
downward slope when it exits the building, so any
remaining water will drain away. Failure to do
this will prevent water from exiting the pit, and
damage the pump if the line freezes.
The system should be placed on a flat surface free
from dirt and debris. If the bottom of the sump
pit is not clean, remove as much of the debris as
possible. The pumps are attached to a sump foot
(stand) to raise them above any debris. (See
Diagram A)
If you are replacing an old sump pump, unplug the
pump from the outlet.
1. Remove the check valve or rubber union. Discard
the check valve. The Pro Series system contains
built-in check valves, so the old check valve will
not be needed. If the existing system is installed
without a check valve or rubber union, saw the
pipe apart above the sump pit. (Refer to the
diagram in step 3)
2. Remove the old pump from the pit, and unscrew
the pipe and pipe adapter from the pump. You
can use this pipe to extend the discharge pipe,
if needed.
3. Measure the distance from the bottom of the
sump pit to the end of the discharge pipe.
Subtract 24¾” inches (the height of the pump
system + 1 inch). Cut a piece of 1-1/2” rigid
PVC pipe to that length.
4. Connect this piece to the discharge pipe
by cementing the two pieces together with
a 1-1/2” PVC pipe connector. (Follow the
instructions on the PVC pipe cleaner and
cement.) OR, (b) connect the two pieces of
pipe together with a no hub coupling.
5. Remove the attached cords and controllers
from the carton and place them next to the
pump system. MAKE SURE THE CORDS AND
CONTROLLERS DO NOT FALL INTO THE SUMP PIT.
6. Loosen the hose clamps on the no hub coupling
and slide the coupling up on the discharge
pipe. Tighten the upper hose clamp.
7. Lift the combination system by the handle on
the primary pump and lower it into the sump
pit. Make sure it is level.
8. Inspect the two float switches. They should
both be vertical.
9. Inspect all of the screws on the hose clamps
of the no hub couplings (primary and backup
pumps). They should be tight.
10. Position the top of the pump system pipe so
that it is directly below the discharge pipe.
Connect the system with the no hub coupling,
and tighten the upper and lower hose clamps.
Make sure both the discharge pipe and the
system have ample overlap within the no hub
coupling.
