SANIPACK SF011 Macerator Pump to Install Complete Bathroom Instruction Manual

SF011 Macerator Pump to Install Complete Bathroom

DESCRIPTION

• The SANIPACK® is a compact macerator/pump specially designed to accept wastewater from a wall-hung toilet or back-outlet toilet.
• The SANIPACK® will pump away the waste from a toilet, a sink, and a shower for residential applications. Installed and used correctly, the SANIPACK® will give consistent and reliable service.
• The macerating unit also consists of three major parts: the container which houses the operating mechanism; a pressure chamber that automatically activates and deactivates; and the induction motor which drives the cutting blade and the impeller. The macerating unit can simultaneously receive wastewater from several sanitary fixtures, e.g. sink, and shower, but only one water closet per unit.
• Macerating units are designed for the disposal of human waste, toilet paper, and water. They are not intended to be used for the disposal of kitchen waste, nor are they intended to be used for the disposal of wastewater from such pump appliances as dishwashers and clothes washers.
• The macerating system must discharge into a minimum 3/4-inch sanitary drainage pipe. The macerating system will pump up to 15 feet vertically, with a 1/4″ per foot gravity fall (minimum) constantly throughout the horizontal run to the point of discharge.
• If you require a vertical lift it should precede any “horizontal” run and should commence as near as possible to the discharge elbow. Once you have started the horizontal run, you cannot change directions in an upward vertical manner.
• Possible danger to personnel, Warning of possible electrical hazard.
• WARNING» This is a general warning that failure to follow instructions could result in poor functioning of the unit.

PERFORMANCE CURVE

VERTICAL/HORIZONTAL PUMPING COMBINATIONS

INSTALLATION

SANIPACK® is designed to fit behind paneling or within the wall, and should be installed by a qualified person.
WARNING: The macerator must be connected to a wall hung or back-outlet toilet which its outlet must be higher than the inlet of the macerator (7-1/2″ CL). Note that the drain pipe coming out from the toilet and going into the connection of the macerator should have the proper 1/4″ per foot gravity fall.
The macerator has fastenings preventing it turning or from moving.

EXAMPLE OF INSTALLATION

See drawings 7a1 7a2 Za3

WARNING: Provide an access panel of the following dimensions to enable the unit to be removed for possible service:
L= 20″ × H = 16 ½” if the side inlets are not used
L= 24″ × H = 16 ½” if the side inlets are used
WARNING: A screwdriver or other tool should be required to remove the access panel.
CONNECTION TO THE TOILET
The flexible coupling is designed to accept a 4″ PCV pipe draining from the toilet connection. Make sure to grease or lubricate with water or liquid soap when inserting the pipe.
WARNING: The toilet must be installed at a level providing a drop of at least 1″ per foot into the macerator.

CONNECTION TO SIDE INLETS (SHOWER AND SINK)

• To make the connection to the side inlets, use connector E or El. Secure it with clamps B and K.
• Plug the unused inlet with blanking plug JI after greasing the joint.

WARNING:

• Eat the underside of the shower tray raised by at least 6 inches (min.) from the floor.

CONNECTION OF A VENT SYSTEM

• The macerating unit must be vented. It has 2 inlets on the top of the cover: a 1 ½” cap and a hole of smaller diameter.
• The unit must be connected to a vent system according to the plumbing codes. Put the waste inlet (provided) on the cap and clamp it down. then, connect the vent pipe. Note that all fixtures connected to the system must also be vented.
• WARNING: Do not use an air admittance valve or a mechanical spring-loaded venting device, as these devices are one-way valves. The air pressure in and outside the abstract airflow one direction “cheater” vent will
• Note: the smaller diameter ½ hole must be plugged with a plastic cap supplied by G.

CONNECTION OF THE DISCHARGE PIPE

• The plastic discharge elbow/check valve assembly should be inserted (long end) into the rubber hose located on the top of the lid.
• The step-down rubber fitting should then be inserted at the discharge side of the elbow assembly and secured with the provided metal clamps.
• The step-down rubber fitting may need to be cut depending on the discharge pipe diameter. Three metal clamps should be used to secure all fittings.
• Install a “full-port” ball or gate valve and a union in the discharge pipe in order to facilitate the removal of the macerating unit.
• Place the union or hose connector and then the valve at the lower portion of the discharge pipe.
• If you wish the unit to pump vertically and horizontally you may calculate that 3 feet of vertical lift is equivalent to 30 feet of “horizontal” run.

INFO

• Each bend or change of direction causes minor losses, which must be deducted from the discharge performance figures in accordance with the usual head loss practice. (Rough guide: reduce discharge height by 3 feet for each 90° turn).
• The discharge pipe work can be made from 3/4″ diameter material. Copper (Type M), CPVC or PVC. Use long turn bends and not elbows, elbows are not normally available in plastic piping, use two 45° pieces back to back to make a 90° elbow.
• The connection to the soil-stack or sewer pipe should be made with an approved wye fitting. When in doubt about this procedure please have a plumbing contractor install this for you.

ELECTRICAL CONNECTION

• All wiring should be in accordance with the applicable electrical code in your territory. The macerating system requires a single-phase 120-volt, 15 Amp. supply. When away ed in straight in from a shower or bathtub. Connect only to a receptacle protected by a ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI).
• WARNING: risk of electric shock – this pump is supplied with a grounding conductor and grounding-type attachment plug to reduce the risk of electrical shock.
• Be certain that it is connected only to a properly grounded-type receptacle.

USAGE

• The normal domain of application of SANIFLO macerating units only concerns the disposal of human waste, toilet paper, and water.
• SANIPACK® is designed for family use only and cannot accept without damage the disposal of sanitary items such as condoms, tampons, sanitary pads, and cotton swabs.

CAUTIONARY NOTES:

• Do not discharge any acids, alkaloids, solvents painting, paint strippers, food waste, plastic bags, metal such as nails, hairpins, wood, building materials, kitty litter, or anything that could halt or damage or corrode the unit.
• Disregarding the above might damage the macerating unit and shall void your warranty.
• Do not hang bleach blocks or hydrochloride cleaners in the toilet tank. These solutions have been shown to deteriorate the plastic and neoprene components of the flush and fill valves and may cause leaks. In the event of a power loss do not use the toilet or any other sanitary fixture connected to the macerating unit since it will not work until the power is restored.
• The toilet works as a conventional flushing toilet and needs no maintenance in normal use. However, there is nothing wrong with cleaning out the macerating unit once a year.
• Do not use bleach Be careful not to let water enter the electrical cord opening).
• The macerating unit starts automatically once the toilet is flushed or the bath, shower, hand basin, etc. discharge and ceases operation once the contents have been pumped away.
• Whenever the unit is not to be used for long periods of time (vacation, power failure, maintenance, etc.) turn off the water supply to the tank and flush the unit to evacuate the water. No leakage into the bowl should ever be permitted from the tank.
• In areas, that are prone to freezing, the total system must be properly winterized. This includes the draining of all pipes, the toilet tank and bowl, and the macerating tank.
• The macerating system is simple to winterize. Pour a jug of urine into the tank and flush the toilet. This will cause the macerating unit to activate and all remaining water will be replaced by the plumber’s anti-freeze. No parts or labor are warranted when a breakdown occurs due to freezing.
• Ensure that there are no faucets left open. Drops will eventually fill up the pump and the resultant repeated start-stop of the motor may heat up to such an extent, that the thermal overload switch may eventually operate and automatically stop the motor, thus possibly causing a flood.

CARE OF YOUR SANIPACK

• In order to remove the scale and clean the macerator and the bowl, use Saniflo’s descaler.
• Disconnect the power,
• Pour an amount of descent in the bowl and flush toilet,
• Leave it to stand for 1 or 2 hours,
• Re-connect the power,
• Rinse by operating the flushing system twice.
• Carry out the operation once every 3 months on average, but the frequency may need to be changed depending on the hardness of the water.

FAULT-FINDING CHART

• For the most part, any inconsistencies in the operation of the unit will be minor and easily rectified. Please reedite tin his way, please a poor service organization.
• Warning – Always disconnect the electricity supply before attempting any work on the SANIFLO

ADVICE

PIPE SUPPORTS

• All sanitary pipe work must be supported, in accordance with the pipe manufacturer’s recommendations.
• Avoid dipping or trapping, which may cause the build-up of residual “solids” and subsequent blockage.

BENDS

• Where possible long sweeping bends should be used. Do not use short elbows. If sweeping 90° elbows are not available use two 45° elbows to make a 90° turn.

PIPEWORK

• All pipe work should be either copper, PVC, or CPVC (Do not use flexible pipes). Hangers should not be less than three feet apart to prevent pipe rattling.

DISCHARGE

• Never discharge directly into an open drain, fixture, manhole, or rainwater drain pipe. It is illegal for it constitutes a health hazard. Direct connections into sanitary waste systems only, shall be acceptable.

FREEZING

• Ensure all pipe work susceptible to freezing is adequately insulated or heated. In unheated buildings, the toilet, piping, and macerating unit must be properly winterized with “RV or plumbers” anti-freeze or drained completely.

ELECTRICITY

• Before attempting any maintenance or servicing, the unit must be disconnected from the power source. The macerating system must be connected to a Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI).

VERTICAL INSTALLATION FIRST

Any initial horizontal pipe run from the unit, prior to a vertical lift should not exceed 12-18 inches.

EASY ACCESS

• The unit should be accessible and remo- vable in the event that maintenance is required. During the installation, a full-port ball valve should be installed at the base of any vertical discharge pipework from the unit to allow easy service of the unit.

GRAVITY FALL

• I do not vacuum in water. gravity: a positive gravy fails to trow and also has drainage when the pump stops.

NO DIAGONAL “UPHILL” PIPE RUNS

• Pao work should not be in store with the point of discharge from the unit to the point of discharge.
