Pump & Pipe

Installation Instructions

(Direct Discharge to Outside)

There are two basic methods that can

be used to install the pump, (A) a direct

discharge to the outside of the building,

or (B) a hookup to an existing discharge

pipe.

Whenever possible, install your Base-

ment Watchdog Special system with a

direct discharge to the outdoors. By

using this method, there will always be

an outlet for the water from the sump.

During times of very heavy rain, many

storm sewers fill up. If your pump is

trying to discharge water into a full

sewer, there is nowhere for the water to

go. This defeats the purpose of the

backup system. By discharging directly

outdoors, there is always an outlet for

the water that is pumped out of the

sump.

There are two options for installing your

sump pump with a direct discharge to

the outside. If you have a sump pit wide

enough to place the backup pump next

to the main pump, use Method A. If your

sump pit is too narrow, the pump may be

mounted above the main pump. In this

instance use the instructions for Method

Aa.

METHOD A: DIRECT DISCHARGE

TO THE OUTSIDE OF THE

BUILDING (Diagram A)

1. Cut a four-foot (4’) piece of 1

1

/2"

rigid PVC pipe and cement it to the

threaded fitting that is attached to

the elbow on the pump.

2. Secure the pump wire so that the

plug on the end will not fall into the

sump. Attach the wire to the pipe

with a piece of tape.

3. Place the pump with the 4’ PVC

pipe attachment on the bottom of

the sump floor next to the main AC

pump.

Do not mount the pump to

any existing pipes...it should be

placed on the floor of the sump.

A

brick may be placed under the

pump if there are rocks or other

debris on the sump floor.

4. Attach a rubber union (sold sep-

arately) to the top of the 1

1

/2" pipe.

This will allow the pump to be

removed easily, should the need

arise.

The path of the rest of the pipe and the

details of each installation will vary.

Using sound plumbing practices try to

route the discharge pipe to an exterior

wall via the shortest path with the few-

est turns. The pipe section exiting the

building should be on a downward slope

so that the water in the pipe will exit

outside rather than return to the sump.

Extend the discharge pipe outside the

building as far as possible to avoid the

return of discharged water to the sump.

Be sure to seal the hole in the wall

where the pipe exits and cement or

clamp all connections securely to

prevent leaking.

No check valve is

needed with this method of installation,

as long as you use less than 20 feet of

pipe.
