“OUTDOOR” APPLICATION
1. All installations must comply with all applicable electrical and
plumbing codes, including but not limited to the National Electrical
Code, local, regional and/or state plumbing codes, etc.
2. Dig a hole for the basin. The hole should be at least 24” larger in
diameter than the basin diameter to provide 12” of backll all around
and deep enough to provide either 12” of compacted backll or 6”
when a concrete pad is required. Backll and sub-base should be
1/8” –3/4” pea gravel or 1/8” –1/2” crushed stone.
3. Note: Care must be taken when excavating in order to avoid
underground utilities and disturbance of existing structure
foundations. The hole should be located at least ten feet from
adjacent structures. Additional distance may be required to
sufciently locate the basin outside of the loading area of
the adjacent structures.
4. Dig a trench for the discharge and electrical conduit.
5. The bottom of the excavation can now be back lled and compacted.
Set basin in hole and connect the 4” inlet pipe and 2” discharge
pipe.
6. Run electrical conduit to the power source.
7. Backll around basin with specied media. Care should be used
to avoid damaging components or leaving voids when back lling.
8. Note: Venting can be installed on basin cover as necessary
according to all applicable National, State, and Local plumbing
codes.
