Risk of bodily injury, electric shock, or equipment damage.
• To prevent abrasion of lead wires, all cut ends of conduit shall be reamed or otherwise finished to remove rough
edges.
The pump has individual power conductors for making a hardwire connection to the power supply. It
does not have a power cord or electrical plug. The power conductors must be connected to a constant
source of power matching the voltage specified on the pump nameplate.
• The pump should be connected or wired to its own circuit, with no other electric receptacles or
equipment in the circuit. Do not connect to a fan or any device that runs intermittently.
• The fuses or circuit breaker should be of ample capacity.
• Connect to a circuit equipped with a ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI) if required by code.
Some models are supplied with a stripped wire cord end. Power connections must be made within a
junction box, and must comply with the National Electrical Code. Wires are color coded as follows:
• Green/yellow = Ground; Brown = Line; Blue = Line (230 V) or Neutral (115 V)
A conduit connector is included for using 1/2" flexible metal conduit. Local and national codes require
individual electrical conductors to be placed inside approved electrical conduit material such as FMC
(flexible metal conduit). Check with local and national electric codes for proper selection and use of
electrical conduit.
