Description

A condensate unit removes
condensation from air conditioning
and high efficiency furnaces. The
compact design of the unit consists of a
3/8” ID discharge and 6 ft. long power
cord. The unit also contains a safety
switch to automatically shut off pump
in the event of a failure.

Unpacking

Inspect this unit before it is installed.
Occasionally, products are damaged
during shipment. If the pump or
components are damaged, return the
unit to the place of purchase for
replacement. Failure to do so could
result in serious injury or death.

This pump is not

designed to handle
salt water, brine, laundry discharge, or
any other application which may contain
caustic chemicals and/or foreign
materials. Pump damage could occur if
used in these applications and will void
warranty. Use for clear water application
only.

be shut-off or obstructed.

9. Personal Safety:

a. Wear safety glasses at all times

when working with pumps.

b. Keep work area clean,

uncluttered and properly lighted;
replace all unused tools and
equipment.

c. Keep visitors a safe distance from

the work area. Make workshop
child-proof with pad locks, master
switch es, and by re mov ing starter
keys.

10. When wiring an elec tri cal ly driven
pump such as this, fol low all electrical
and safety codes, as well as the most
recent National Electrical Code (NEC)
and the Oc cu pa tion al Safety and
Health Act (OSHA).

Risk of electric shock! Never
connect the green (or green
and yellow) wire to a live
terminal!

11. This equipment is only for use on
120 volt (single-phase) and is
equipped with an ap proved 3-con ­duc tor cord and 3-prong,
grounding-type plug as shown in
Fig ure 2.

To reduce the risk of electric shock, the
motor must be securely and adequately
grounded. This can be ac com plished by
inserting plug directly into a properly
installed and grounded 3-prong,
grounding-type re cep ta cle (as shown in
Figure 2).

Risk of electrical

shock! This pump is
supplied with a grounding conductor
and grounding type attachment plug.
Use a grounded receptacle to reduce
the risk of fatal electric shock.

Safety Guidelines
(Continued)

Notice indicates

indicates important
information, that if not followed, may
cause damage to equipment.

General Safety
Information

1. Know the pump application,

limitations, and po ten tial hazards.

Do not

use to
pump flammable or explosive
fluids such as gasoline, fuel
oil, kerosene, etc. Do not use
in flammable and/or explosive
atmospheres. Use pump only with liquids
compatible with pump component
materials. Failure to follow this warning
can result in personal injury and/or
property damage.

2. Make certain that the power supply

conforms to the requirements of
the unit.

Disconnect power before
servicing. If the power dis ­con nect is out of sight, lock
in the open po si tion and tag it to
prevent unexpected application of
power. Failure to do so could result in
fatal electrical shock!

3. Release all pressure within the

system before ser vic ing any
component.

4. Drain all liquids from the system

before servicing.

5. Secure the discharge line before

starting the pump. An unsecured
discharge line will whip, possibly
causing personal injury and/or
property damage.

6. Check hoses for weak and worn

condition before each use, making
certain that all connections are
secure.

7. Periodically inspect the pump and

system com po nents. Perform
routine maintenance as required
(See Maintenance Section).

8. Provide a means of pressure relief

for pumps whose discharge line can

Operating Instructions and Parts Manual

Never cut off the round grounding
prong. Cutting the cord or prong
will void the warranty and make
the pump inoperable.

Where a 2-prong wall receptacle is
encountered, it must be replaced with
a properly grounded 3-prong re cep ta ­cle installed in accordance with the
NEC and local codes and ordinances.

12. All wiring should be performed by a
qualified elec tri cian.

13. It is strongly recommended that this
unit is plugged into a Ground Fault
Circuit Interrupter (GFCI). Con sult a
local electrician for installation and
availability.

14. Protect electrical cord from sharp
objects, hot sur fac es, oil, and
chemicals. Avoid kinking the cord.
Re place or repair damaged or worn
cords im me di ate ly. Use wire of
adequate size to minimize voltage
drop at the motor.

15. Do not handle a pump
or pump motor with
wet hands or when
standing on a wet or
damp surface, or in
water.

16. Do not use an extension cord.

Do not

walk on wet area
until all power has been turned off. If
the shut-off box is in basement, call
the electric company to shut-off service
to the house, or call the local fire
department for instructions. Remove
pump and repair or replace. Failure to
follow this warning can result in fatal
electrical shock.

Installation

In any installation

where property
damage and/or personal injury might
result from an inoperative or leaking
pump due to power outages, discharge
line blockage or any other reason, use
a backup system(s).

STEP 1: INSTALLATION OF PIPE

A. Insert the discharge pipe or pipe

nipple into the 3/8” ID plastic tube.

Before removing

pump from its
mounting position for service, always
disconnect electrical power to pump
and control switch. For any work on
pump or switch, ALWAYS unplug the
power cord. Do not just turn off circuit
break er or unscrew fuse.

STEP 2: MOUNTING
CONDENSATE UNIT

A. Position the pump below the

evaporator drain and/or furnace
drain.

B. The pump can be installed to the

wall or side of the appliance using
the two mounting brackets. Refer to
Figure 3.

STEP 3: INSTALLATION OF
CONDENSATE DRAIN LINES

A. To prevent pipe blockage in the

reservoir, modify the end of pipe or
tubing as illustrated in Figure 4.

B. Plumb flexible tube or pipe from the

condensate drain, and from the
furnace drain (if applicable), to the
inlet holes on the pump. Refer to
Figure 5.

STEP 4: INSTALLATION OF
DISCHARGE LINE

NOTE: Use 3/8” I.D. (max.) flexible

tubing. A hose clamp is recommended
(not provided).

A. Extend discharge pipe from barbed

check valve to the highest point
possible. Refer to Figure 6.

B. From this point, direct the

discharge line to the location of the
drainage source. Maintain a
continuous downward slope.

NOTE: Construct an inverted “U” (see
Figure 6) at the highest point of
discharge line if a continuous
downward slope is not possible.
Exercise care not to kink or “pinch off”
the flow of condensate liquid.
