What is the height (from the surface where the pump is placed) of the discharge outlet? I am hoping less than 4" high... (have limited height in pit)

My bit is about three feet deep and the pump sits 2 feet into it on a block. The discharge pipe is approx 9 feet tall to get out of the basement wall. Hope this answers your question. Great pump

So sorry for the delay. Measuring from the surface where the pump sits to the point where the threads begin for the discharge pipe is indeed less than 4". Hopefully you will have room!

Yes, the top of the discharge is about 2-1/2 inches above the supporting surface. It is vertical, meaning it accepts a vertical threaded pipe. The pump is about 9-1/2 inches high. It's a good pump. The one I replaced was 20 years old and ran fine, but needed a new on/off switch, so I replaced the whole thing instead.

Hi Eddie,If you mean the drainage tube, it is definitely less than 2.5". If you meant the exhaust tube that is quite large. I would say about 4".

close to 6'. More than plenty needed for our application. I have it mounted on a trailer with a large tank and gas powered pressure washer to clean cars. The output volumn is superb to my previous pump and it has not overheated yet.

I did find a drawing on Waterways website. It shows the height to the top of the outlet to be 8.25". Their website is waterwayplastics, it is a dot com.

The float switch can be installed anywhere in the pit that is practical. It doesn't have to be mounted on the discharge pipe above the pump. You pit may be different, but I have a 2" dia PVC return/overflow pipe that comes in from the side of my pit (approx. 15 from bottom) and sticks out into the pit about 3". I attached a 90 deg elbow (bent downward) along with a 4" section of straight pipe. I attached the float to this 4" section of straight pipe so that the bottom of the float is just a couple inches from the bottom of the pit. works great.

3.75 inches from tip to bottom. 3 inches from the top of the plug to the tip. This was a problem for me with a new fixture since the cover wouldn't go on. I think the 4.5 inches refers to the box it comes in.

The switch on this pump runs on a timer, so it will only run for a predefined number of seconds when the switch is activated (I think around 10-15 seconds). It will not necessarily pump until the pit is empty. Also, this pump will likely not drain the sump pit as quickly as your main pump. Have you noticed a reduction in performance, or has it always been about the same performance-wise? Edit to add: If there is a significant amount of lift in the drain line (6' or more) you will see a distinct reduction in performance. Four inches drained seems low, but it depends on your setup whether or not that should be expected.

Prongs are about six inches long so if fully inserted the spigot would be 15" above ground. I usually cannot get prongs in completely so I am at18"

4 inches center to center for inlet to outlet6 inches overall, sorry for being so late.

It's only about 6 feet. We use an exterior extension cord buried just below the ground running to the garage in a pvc pipe. This pump is not very big-it's like a 10 gallon fishtank pump. I am looking at finding a bigger one. This one does not have enough power to circulate our little 6 foot pond.

I believe either 1/2" or 3/4". You should be able to find specifics on basepump.com

The pump outlet (and inlet) are both 4mm outside diameter(OD). Tubing that is 4mm inside diameter(ID) should work. I found that the vinyl tube used for aquarium air pumps fits nicely.

you should have a check valve in the discharge line as close to the pump as possible!

I measured from the bottom of the pump to the end of the power cord. The pump is submergeable, as is the cord. The measurement was slightly longer than 10 foot. I see no problem.

Might be close. I know the main pump is less than 11 inchs but the backup may end up above the pit if its at 16inchz

the discharge connection is 1", but included with pump is a reducer which connects to the 1" on pump and reduces to a standard 3/4" water hose connector. you can use any water hose which has the standard female end. larger hose = more water flow. i like the pump very much--had it since about first of nov. last year. works for me. - david bradley (ky)

The discharge is 1.5". You would have to reduce down to the water hose thread suze
