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 backll all around and deep enough
to provide either 12” of compacted backll or 6” when a concrete pad is
required. Backll 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 sufciently 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. Backll around basin with specied media. Care should be used to avoid
damaging components or leaving voids when back lling.
