Home Depot ECD50V-HDC Cast Iron Submersible Sump Pump

Safety Information

CAUTION: Call an electrician when in doubt. The pump should be connected to a separate 12 A circuit breaker or 12 A fuse block. Plugging into existing outlets may cause low voltage at the motor. This could cause blown fuses, tripping of motor overload or a burned out motor.

ELECTRICAL SAFETY

WARNING: Verify that the voltage and frequency of the pump shown on the nameplate corresponds to those available on the mains. The installer must make sure that the electrical system is grounded in accordance with code.

• The plug and connection should be protected from water splashes, and should never be used with an extension cord. Before using the pump, always inspect it visually (especially power cord and plug).
• Do not use the pump if it is damaged.
• If the pump is damaged, have it inspected by an authorized service center.
• Make sure that electrical connections are protected from flooding. Protect the plug and the power cord from heat or sharp edges.
•  The power cord must be replaced by qualified personnel only. Grounding: The plug of the power cord has a double grounding contact, so that grounding can be achieved by simply inserting the plug9.

OVERLOAD PROTECTION
This pump series has a built in thermal protection switch. The pump stops if an overload condition occurs. The motor restarts automatically after it has cooled down.

INSTALLATION REQUIREMENTS

This pump is provided with an on/off float switch for automatic operation. Refer to the Installation instructions included with switches and
controllers for installation.

• Care should be taken to prevent the pump from running in a dry sump.
• The pump must be installed in a suitable basin which is a minimum of 11 in. in diameter and a minimum of 24 in. deep.
• The pump must be placed on a hard level surface. Never place the pump directly on clay, earth or gravel surfaces.
• The pump can be installed with ABS, PVC, polyethylene or galvanized steel pipe. Proper adapters are required to connect plastic pipe to the pump.
• Always install a union in the discharge line, just above the sump pit, to allow for easy removal of the pump for cleaning or repair.
• A check valve must be used in the discharge line to prevent back flow of liquid into the basin. The check valve should be a free flow valve that will easily pass solids.
• When a check valve is used, drill a relief hole 3/16 in. in diameter in the discharge pipe. This hole should be located below the floor line between the pump discharge and the check valve. Unless such a relief hole is provided, the pump could “air-lock” and will not pump water even though it will run.
• A gate valve should follow the check valve to allow periodic cleaning of the check valve or removal of the pump.
• The remainder of the discharge line should be as short as possible with a minimum of turns to minimize friction head loss. Do not restrict the discharge to sizes below 1-1/2 in.
