WARNING RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK
Always disconnect any electric pumps from the power source before handling, installing, or adjusting the SumpJet.
WARNING RISK OF SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH
Sump water is non-potable. To reduce the risk of contamination of the potable water supply, additional backflow protection must be provided by the installer to meet the requirements of the local plumbing code or the requirements of the local water authority. As per the Uniform Plumbing Code® and per the Plumbing Codes of some states, including the State of Michigan, installation of this product requires the use of an RP/RPZ (Reduced Pressure device/Reduced Pressure Zone device) backflow protection device. Contact your local plumbing or water authority for more information regarding the requirements for your specific area.
CAUTION
The SumpJet is designed for use in clear water only. It is not designed to remove waste water, sewage, effluent, or water with debris in it.
NOTICE
The SumpJet is designed for use with municipal water supply, and is intended to be used as an emergency backup to an existing pump system.
The SumpJet comes with a foot valve installed and therefore does not require a check valve on the discharge. The foot valve has a removable poppet. Where freezing discharge pipes are a problem, simply unscrew the strainer screen, remove the poppet and spring, and replace the strainer. The SumpJet will now allow water to flow back into the pit, eliminating discharge pipe freezing.
Maximum water pressure = 100 psi (690 kPa) with the valve closed.
Recommended minimum water pressure (ahead of backflow prevention device) = 30 psi (207 kPa) with the valve open (less pressure may not eject water from basement adequately).
For nominal backflow protection, the SumpJet is pre-equipped with an internal check valve certified to ASME A112.18.3 and ASME A112.18.1/CSA B125.1.
Discharge of the SumpJet must not be connected to the primary sump pump.
Discharge of the SumpJet must not be directly connected to the municipal drain.
An air gap with a minimum 1” gap should be used, or the discharge should be directed outside of the building, with the end of the pipe between 150 and 610 mm (6 and 24 in) above the ground or the flood level of the area receiving the discharge.
The inlet of the SumpJet is factory-equipped with a SharkBite® push-type pipe connector. This fitting can be used with various approved 3/4” potable water tubing and pipe, such as PEX tubing (ASTM F876, CSA B137.5), copper pipe (ASTM B 88), or CTS pipe (ASTM D 2846, CSA B137.6). For more details on using the SharkBite, visit www.sharkbite.com.
Do not use paste-type sealant on inlet threads, and do not sweat copper fittings within 18” of SumpJet body. Use PTFE (Teflon®) sealing tape only when assembling threaded fittings into SumpJet inlet. Do not overtighten threaded inlet fitting, and do not hold onto float plunger shroud when tightening.
Purge water line prior to connection to SumpJet to ensure debris does not enter unit and clog the operating valve.
The SumpJet utilizes a quick-acting valve which, per UPC, requires the use of an approved water pressure absorbing device to prevent water hammer.
Do not use SumpJet in water greater than 130 °F.
