The Sump and Installation
If your basement does not currently have a sump installed, it would be necessary
to
check local plumbing codes as to the acceptable type of sump that may be used.
Materials commonly specified are: clay tile, fiberglass, steel, concrete and
polyethylene.
It may be necessary to cut a hole in the basement floor and excavate
for the sump.
Plumbing and electrical contractors can advise on proper installations of drain tiles,
sump, pump and electrical service. Honda recommends that a solid sump base be
provided.The sump is fed by drain tile placed around the outside and/or inside base-
ment walls at the footings.If applications where a gravel base must be used, to relieve
hydraulic pressure under the basement floor, be sure to provide a permanent and solid
base for the pump (bricks or a steel plate).A sump cover capable of supporting 200
pounds should be employed to contain odors and for obvious safety reasons.
Electrical Installation
Electrical service for any sump pump installation must be grounded and separately fused
or breakered directly from the entrance box with a single grounding type receptacle at
the pump.The receptacle should not be less than four feet above the basement floor for
