Sanivite: Installation

Sanivite is a powerful pump which will evacuate waste from a sink, dishwasher and washing machine. It works automatically. Do not use with a waste disposal unit.

	1. Connecting a side entry waste water inlet Cap off any unused inlets. Grease joint, push in cap, give a quarter turn. Connect flexible sleeve to the chosen inlet and secure with a herbie clip (size G).
	2. Connecting a top waste water entry Cut off sealed cap with hacksaw. Remove rough edges. Connect flexible sleeve to chosen inlet and secure with a steel jubilee clip.
	3. Evacuation of water from a bath. If fitting bath/shower to the unit, ensure the plug hole is at least 18cm above the base level of the Sanivite. An air vent pipe (shown as dotted line), though not normally required, may be run to an outside wall.
	4. Installation of evacuation pipe and ventilation pipe Attach the rubber discharge elbow to the outlet pipe and secure with steel jubilee clip. Ensure the flap opens in the same direction as the discharge elbow. (Do not use a straight connector: A).

Is push-fit uPVC pipework recommended?
No. You should not use push-fit uPVC pipework. This is not designed for use under pressure, and the results of a joint separating are obvious!

Can flexible pipework be used?
Flexible discharge pipework is not recommended as residual water could build up in the dips and cause blockages. You should use either copper or rigid uPVC solvent weld pipework.

What type of bends - smooth radius/90 degrees etc?.
Smooth bends are better than elbows, because this will prevent possible blockages in the pipework.

Can the discharge pipe travel both vertically and run horizontally on the same run - if so, how far?
Yes. Sanivite discharges up to 5m vertically. However, when using a combination of vertical lift and horizontal run, allow for a reduction of 10m horizontal run for every metre of vertical lift (ie lm vertical then 40m horizontal, or two metres vertical then 30 metres horizontal and so on).

Sanivite is designed to pump directly upwards to a distance of 5m. However, a 45 degree slant along, say, the eaves of a loft is possible, provided the length of diagonal pipe does not exceed 5m (i.e. you cannot have a 10m length of diagonal pipe, even if the height is within 5m vertical).

In accordance with plumbing regulations, there should be a separate piperun from the Sanivite to the stack.

You should not plumb a whirlpool bath which has a pumped waste into a Sanivite. Whirlpool baths with gravity operating waste however, will operate normally.
