Safety Information

Read these warnings carefully. Know the application and limitations of this pump. Failure to follow these warnings could result in serious bodily injury and/or property damage.
DANGER RISK OF ELECTRICAL SHOCK. Disconnect and lockout power supply before removing old pump or installing or servicing this pump.
DANGER RISK OF ELECTRICAL SHOCK. This pump is supplied with a grounding conductor and grounding type attachment plug. To reduce the risk of electric shock, be certain that it is connected only to a properly grounded, grounding type receptacle. For added safety, it is highly recommended to connect this pump to a GFCI (Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter) outlet. Connect only to a receptacle that is adequately rated for the voltage and amperage of this pump
WARNING The installation of this pump must be in accordance with the National Electric Code (NEC), Uniform Plumbing Code (UPC), International Plumbing Code (IPC) as well as all applicable local codes and ordinances.
CAUTION Do not install this pump in any location classified as hazardous by the National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA70.
CAUTION Do not use this pump to pump sewage or flammable or explosive fluids such as gasoline, kerosene, etc. Do not use this pump in flammable or explosive environments. Use only with liquids compatible with pump component materials.
WARNING RISK OF ELECTRICAL SHOCK. This pump has not been investigated for use in swimming pool or marine areas. RISK OF ELECTRICAL SHOCK. DO NOT use the power cord to remove or lower the pump into the basin. The cord may pull apart exposing bare wires which could cause a fire or electrical shock. Use the handle supplied with the pump for installing and removing the pump from the basin.
**WARNING Do not run the pump dry. This pump relies on water for cooling. Running the pump dry can cause the pump to overheat and the possibility of burns to anyone that handles the pump. Running the pump dry will void the warranty.
WARNING** Don’t expose pump to freezing temperatures. Discharge lines exposed to freezing temperatures should be positioned with a downward slope to prevent freezing.

Safety Information (continued)

**WARNING Do not use this pump for potable/drinking water. Use only in applications for which the pump is designed for.
WARNING According to the state of California (Prop 65), this product contains chemicals known to the state of California to cause cancer and birth defects or other reproductive harm.
WARNING DO NOT UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES REMOVE THE GROUND PIN. The 3-prong plug must be inserted into a mating 3-prong grounded receptacle. If the installation does not have such a receptacle, it must be changed to the proper type, wired and grounded in accordance with the National Electrical Code and all applicable local codes and ordinances.
WARNING   All wiring must be performed by a qualified electrician.
WARNING   Keep hands clear of suction & discharge openings. To prevent injury, never insert fingers into pump while it is plugged in.
WARNING   Sump basins must be vented according to local plumbing codes.
****CAUTION Do not handle this pump with wet hands or while standing on wet or damp surfaces or in water.
****CAUTION This pump motor is equipped with an automatic resetting thermal protector and may restart unexpectedly.
Description**
The Superior Pump Sink Pump System is ideal for home wastewater removal from wet bars, laundry tubs, utility and beautician sinks, water softeners and for condensate removal from air conditioners and dehumidifiers. The pump included in this system contain a Permanent Split Capacitor (PSC), oil filled, thermally protected motor. The pump use upper and lower ball bearings which never need lubrication. Pumps come with a vertical type float switch for trouble free pumping. The basin has a 6 gallon capacity and is made from durable polyethylene structural foam. The unique octagonal shape maximizes capacity while minimizing space requirements. The basin is sealed with a molded, reusable PVC gasket and has 1-1/2″ inlet, discharge and vent ports. The pump is pre-assembled in the basin for easy installation.

Specifications

Dimensions

Assembly

1. Install the discharge pipe into the pump discharge as shown in Figure 1. Hand tighten plus one half turn.
2. Place the pump in the basin as shown in Figure 2 and position the discharge pipe so it will line up with the discharge threaded port in the cover.
3. Turn the basin cover upside down and position the gasket as shown in Figure 3. Push the bolts through the gasket. The gasket will hold the bolts in place to aid in assembly.
4. Pull the power cords through the non threaded hole in the cover as shown in Figure 1.
5. Position the cover over the discharge pipe.
6. Install the cord grommet onto the power cords and then into the non-threaded hole in the basin cover. Do not pull cords tight.
7. Fasten the cover to the basin using the bolts that were inserted in Step 2 and eight nuts as shown in Figure 1. Make sure not to over tighten.

Installation

1. The basin should be located at the lowest point relative to the area to be drained. See Figures 1, 2 & 3 for typical installations.

   ---|---|---

2. Make sure that the inlet of the pump is lower than the water level to be pumped.

3. Install the inlet pipe into the inlet port on the basin as shown in Figure 4. Use Teflon tape or a sealant compatible with plastic to seal any threaded fittings.
   NOTE: If using plastic pipe (PVC or ABS), do not use ordinary pipe joint compound. This compound can degrade plastic pipe and fittings. Use Teflon tape or sealant compatible with plastic pipe.

4. Install the discharge pipe to the discharge port on the basin as shown in Figure 4. Install an in-line check valve in the discharge line as close to the basin as possible. This will prevent backflow into the basin when the pump shuts off.
   NOTE: To reduce pumping noise, a check valve with rubber boots can be installed on the discharge pipe to dampen noise and vibration.

5. Install the vent pipe to the vent port on the basin as shown in Figure 4. The pipe should not extend into the basin. Connect the vent line to the sewer vent system.

6. This pump is designed for 120 Volt, 60 Hz. operation and requires a minimum 15 amp individual branch circuit. Both the pump and float switch are supplied with 3 prong, grounding type plugs. The float switch is plugged directly into the outlet. The pump plugs into the piggy-back plug on the float switch plug. See Figure 5.

7. If the pump discharge pipe will be exposed to freezing conditions, the exposed portion of the pipe must be installed so any remaining water in the pipe will drain by gravity. Failure to do this can cause water trapped in the pipe to freeze which could result in damage to the pump, piping and personal property.

Installation (continued)

Air Admittance Valve (AAV) The use of an Air Admittance Valve (AAV) may be used with this kit if local codes permit. Follow the piping instructions in Figure 6 for proper installation of the AAV.

Operation

1. After the piping and electrical supply have been installed and connected, the unit is ready for operation.
2. Check operation by filling the basin with water and observing the pump through at least one complete cycle.
3. Check for leaks and make any necessary adjustments at this time.

Maintenance

DANGER Risk of electric shock. Always disconnect the power supply before attempting to install, service or perform maintenance on the pump.
**WARNING All repairs must be made by an authorized service center.
****CAUTION** This submersible pump contains oil which may become pressurized and hot under normal operating conditions – allow the pump to cool for 2-3 hours before servicing.

1. Periodically inspect and clean the anti-airlock hole.
2. Inspect the float switch for any accumulated debris that may inhibit it from operating properly. Clean if necessary.
3. The pump has sealed, permanently lubricated bearings and require no additional lubrication.
4. In applications where the pump may not activate for extended periods of time, it is recommended to cycle the pump at least once per month to ensure the pumping system is working properly when needed.

Performances

Height and/or piping restriction will reduce the pump output performance. It is recommended to use the same size or larger pipe as the pump discharge for optimum performance.![SUPERIOR PUMP 92072-U Submersible Remote Sink Drain Pump
