The Little Giant 506807 6EC-CIA-SFS 1/3 hp, 3180 GPH, 115-volt pump is ideal for use as a sump or light effluent pump. This pump can handle up to 1/2" solids and has a 1.5" FNPT discharge. This pump comes with a 115-volt, 10' cord suitable for standard outlets in North American homes. The integral snap-action switch activates the pump when the water level reaches 8" - 11" and shuts off when the water level drops to between 2" and 5". Features & Benefits: - 1/3 horsepower PSC motor - 1-1/2" FNPT discharge - 140 °F (60 °C) liquid temperature rating Pump selection guidelines: Application: effluent pumps can be used to transfer or remove clean water or liquid effluent with up to 1/2" semi-solids. It is not designed to pass raw sewage. Switch options (not all may be available): - Tethered switches rise/drop with the depth of the water. They require a minimum basin size of 18". The on/off levels can be adjusted easily. - Diaphragm switches take up less room than a traditional tethered switch and uses water pressure to turn the pump on/off. A breather tube is located on the plug which must be free of debris for it to operate properly. The on/off levels cannot be adjusted. - Snap-action switches take up less room that a traditional tethered switch. The float rises/lowers with the water level. The on/off level cannot be adjusted. Piggyback vs. integral (built-in): - A piggyback plug allows the switch to be overridden to pump below the off level. It is easily replaceable. - An integral switch is built into the pump. An integral switch cannot be overridden so it is not the best choice for emergency water removal.
