Installation Instructions
Diagram 1 shows the various connections that must be made for proper
installation and operation. This is only a guide; actual installation may vary
depending on the particular situation
Inlet: A 1-1/2″ inlet is provided on the 118 Hide-Away Basin System.One
method of hookup is to use a 1-1/2″ PVC MIP adapter ora 1-1/2″ PVC MIP
marvelconnection (or a similar type ofconnection). You may use a1-1/2″
extension tailpiece or1-1/2″ PVC pipe; it depends on the type of fittings used
on the basin inlet. The P-Trap should be installed once the appropriate
connections are made on the basin inlet. Once these fittings are installed the
rest of the piping may be plumbed.
Vent: Provision has been made for a2″ vent to allow maximumvolume for any
application andproper operation of pump.
The vent may be reduced to no less than 1-1/4″. Venting is essential for
proper pump operation and should not beomitted. The 118 Hide-Away Basin System
may be vented into anexisting vent stack or use a BOCA in-line vent. Check
local codes.
Discharge: Do not restrict discharge line below 1-1/4″. A check valve
MUST be installed to prevent backflow of water after each cycle. If you are
using 1-1/2″ or 1-1/4″ PVC pipe on the discharge line, a Hydromatic CV-170
check valve is recommended. Once check valve has been installed, plumb the
discharge line into an existing drain line.
Basin: Hydromatic’s 118 Hide-Away Basin System includes a corrosion-
resistant polypropylene tank with a gasket cover.

Limited Warranty
HYDROMATIC warrants to the original consumer purchaser (“Purchaser” or “You”)
of HYDROMATIC Sump Pumps, Effluent Pumps, Sewage Pumps (other than 2-1/2”),
and Package Systems, that they will be free from defects in material and
workmanship for the Warranty Period of 36 months from date of manufacture. Our
warranty will not apply to any product that, in our sole judgement, has been
subject to negligence, misapplication, improper installation, or improper

with single phase power through a phase converter will void the warranty. Note
also that three phase motors must be protected by three-leg, ambient
compensated, extra-quick trip overload relays of the recommended size or the
warranty is void. Your only remedy, and HYDROMATIC’s only duty, is that
HYDROMATIC repair or replace defective products (at HYDROMATIC’s choice). You
must pay all labor and shipping charges associated with this warranty and must
request warranty service through the installing dealer as soon as a problem is
discovered. No request for service will be accepted if received after the
Warranty Period has expired. This warranty is not transferable. EXCEPTIONS:
Hydromatic Special Application Pumps, Battery Back-Up Sump Pumps, Filtered
Effluent Pumps, Grinder Pumps, and 2-1/2” Sewage Pumps are warranted for a
period of 12 months from date of purchase or 18 months from date of
