Installing PumpSpy’s Dual Pump Install Kit is a straightforward process that ensures your sump pumps are set up for optimal performance. This guide will walk you through each step, making it easy to connect your pumps and discharge system effectively.
Step-by-Step Installation Guide
- Connect the Threaded Check Valves:
Begin by attaching the included threaded check valves to each of your sump pumps. This ensures that water flows in the correct direction and prevents backflow, which can damage the pumps.
- Attach Rubber Couplings:
Connect the included rubber couplings to the top of each threaded check valve. These flexible connectors help absorb vibrations and provide a secure connection between the pumps and the manifold.
- Secure with Hose Clamps:
Slide two hose clamps over each rubber coupling. These clamps will help secure the connections and prevent leaks. Do not tighten them yet.
- Connect the PVC Manifold:
Insert each end of the PVC manifold into the rubber couplings attached to the check valves. This manifold will join the two pumps into a single discharge system.
- Tighten the Hose Clamps:
Using a standard screwdriver, tighten the hose clamps around the rubber couplings to secure the threaded check valves to the PVC manifold. Ensure the connections are snug to prevent leaks.
- Position the Pumps:
Carefully lower the two pumps, now connected by the dual install kit, into the sump pit. Make sure they are positioned correctly and securely within the pit.
- Measure and Cut the PVC Pipe:
Measure the distance between the PVC manifold and your discharge pipe. Attach an included rubber coupling with hose clamps to the top of the PVC manifold. Cut a length of PVC pipe to fit this distance and connect it to the top rubber coupling.
- Secure the PVC Connections:
Tighten the hose clamps on the top rubber coupling to firmly attach the PVC manifold to the PVC pipe. This ensures a stable and secure connection to the discharge system.
- Connect the Discharge Pipe:
Finally, connect the discharge pipe to the remainder of your discharge system. This will channel the water out of your home, preventing flooding and water damage.
- Verify System Functionality:
Once everything is connected, test the system to ensure that both pumps are operating correctly and that water is flowing smoothly through the discharge line.
Conclusion
By following these steps, you can successfully install PumpSpy’s Dual Pump Install Kit, ensuring reliable performance and protection for your home.
