1. WARNINGS

1.1

Before installation, carefully read this documentation and that supplied with the pump

manual and the control panel.

It is indispensable to have the electric and hydraulic connections made by skilled personnel, in

possession of the technical qualifications indicated by the safety standards concerning the

design, installation and maintenance of technical plants, in force in the country where the

product is to be installed.

Failure to comply with the safety regulations not only causes risk to personal safety and

damage to the equipment, but invalidates every right to assistance under guarantee.

1.2

The term skilled personnel means persons whose training, experience and instruction, as

well as their knowledge of the respective standards and requirements for accident prevention

and working conditions, have been approved by the person in charge of plant safety,

authorizing them to perform all the necessary activities, during which they are able to

recognize and avoid all dangers. (Definition for technical personnel IEC 364).

The appliance is not intendend for use by persons (including children) with reduced physical,

sensory or mental capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge, unless they have been

efficiency of all the tank components; replace any parts that are not perfectly efficient.

1.4

Do not use inflammable or highly corrosive liquids or anything other than indicated by standard

En 12050-1

1.5

If the installation is indoors, adequate drainage must be ensured in the event of leakage from

the tank

1.6

For correct installation, follow the instructions in chapters 3-4-5 below. If you want to install the

Fekabox – Fekafos lifting tanks outside the home, attention must be paid because the

maximum admissible load on the cover is 100 kg (see also the symbols on the cover).

2. RESPONSIBILITY

5. TANK INSTALLATION

The lifting stations of the Fekabox – Fekafos series have various inlet and outlet possibilities for the pipes.

Depending on the type of installation and on the local standards in force it may be necessary to provide a

siphon, a non-return valve on the pipe connecting to the public/private sewer network or to other ducts.

Always refer to the local and/or national regulations, laws and standards in force. Anyway it is recommended

to install check valves and interception valves upstream and downstream from the station. An example of

installation is shown in chapter 4.

All the ducts must be installed in such a way that they are not stressed. The ducts must not

exert stress on the station. Check that the electropump is securely fixed to the pipes and that

all the hydraulic connections are tightened and watertight.

Where necessary provide suitable means for avoiding the transmission of vibrations and for protecting the

pipes against the formation of ice.

5.1 Placing the tank inside the building

The tank may be laid on the floor, under the ground or housed in a masonry pit. Fig.2, Fig.3

In any case the surface on which it is laid must be perfectly horizontal and it must be ensured that

the whole bottom of the tank is in contact with the surface.

For Fekabox 200 l, Fekabox 280 and Fekabox 550 Double l the cover of the tank is trafficable

(max. weight 100 Kg, see fig. 1).

In indoor installations (garage, basement, technical room), the tank must be fixed to the

ground using the slots provided to prevent rotations, as indicated in figure 4.

Leave a free space of at least 60 cm around and above the station for installation and

maintenance.

5.2 Placing the tank outside the building

If the tank would not buried, to prevent damage to itself and to the seals, you should not expose it to heat

sources such as direct sunlight can be at certain times of the year.

Do not position the lifting station directly on the ground. The site chosen must not have ground

water and must not be subject to flooding. Suitable anchor the station so as to avoid rotation

and floating. For this you can use the slots on the base of the tank.

There must be a horizontal base suitable to bear the weight of the station during its operation.

Depending on the characteristics of the terrain it may be necessary to create walls with bricks,

prefabricated components or concrete. Fill the space between the ditch and the station with

sand and compact it suitably. Protect the station suitably against frost.

Fig. 4

FIX THE TANK TO THE GROUND

BEFORE USE

Use screws TE M8 with respective

fixture, use specific washers for soft

materials ISO 7093

ENGLISH

Do not drive vehicles over the cover (see fig. 3). Fekabox / Fekafos: the cover can bear

passing loads of 100 kg if installed underground.

You can close the ditch with a cover (manhole) or other means for facilitating subsequent maintenance. Put

up suitable signals indicating the presence of the station so as to avoid possible damage caused

unintentionally. Ensure that there is sufficient space for installation and maintenance around and above the

lifting station.

Position any capacitor holder and/or electric control panel in a place sheltered from the

elements.

After having completed the hydraulic and electric connection, it is recommended to place clean sand around

the container to reduce any movements caused by the system and/or by the surrounding terrain.

5.3 Making holes for the collection and ventilation pipes

Choose the inlet duct already prepared for the inlet pipe so that the arrival of the liquid does not disturb the

operation of the floats (of both the pump and the tank, if provided).

The Fekabox-Fekafos tanks have multiple inlets, all marked with the symbol:

Make a hole in the tank in the determined areas, indicated by the symbols shown above.

To make the hole use a hollow cutter as shown in figure 5 (indicative figure) with the correct diameter to suit

the diameter of the input pipe.

5.4 Gluing the collection and ventilation pipes

Before gluing the PVC pipe must be deburred and cleaned with a suitable solvent on the whole surface

where the glue will be applied.

To ensure that it sticks firmly, the glue must be applied on the whole newly deburred surface, at least for a

complete round.

Attention: Use glue suitable for sticking PVC materials with PE (for example: Simson ISR 70-03)

Also check the drying times indicated in the specific instructions for the glue used.

For the discharge pipe 2”PP (Fekabox 200) use the multifibre nylon sealant Loctite 55, the polymerising GEI

sealant Loctite 5331 or Teflon. For the steel pipe znb 2” (Fekabox 200, Fekafos 280, Fekafos 280 Double,

Fekafos 550 Double) and the other inlet connections use the most suitable glue in accordance with the

standards of the local market.

5.5 Connecting the delivery pipe to the sewer network

Fekabox 200, Fekafos 280 and Fekafos 550 tanks have a 2” GAS outlet connection.

To guarantee a perfect seal it is recommended to use Teflon or suitable glues depending on whether the

material being glued is plastic (PP or PVC) or metal.

5.6 Connecting the ventilation pipe

Remember to provide a ventilation pipe to avoid the formation of inflammable, explosive or toxic mixtures.

On the station identify the seat for the ventilation duct, marked with the symbol . Open the duct as

indicated in point 5.3 and connect the ventilation pipe so that it can evacuate any condensate from the

station. Check that the coupling is watertight.

The various national regulations may require different ratios between the diameter of the outlet pipe and

that of the ventilation pipe. Ensure that the pipe outlet is in the open (for example, above the ridge of the

roof if the station is installed inside a building) and that the exhaust gases cannot get into other places such

as buildings, rooms and similar. Avoid horizontal stretches in the ventilation duct.

5.7 Closing the cover

Check that the gasket of the cover is lying in the bottom of its seat and is not twisted before screwing the

cover onto the tank. The tank is shipped with the gasket already fitted under the cover.

Check that the gasket does not slip in the thread during screwing. In case of installation inside buildings, the

cover must be screwed right down until the threaded seat appears in the slot shown in the figure, to

guarantee that the station is hermetically sealed against liquids and gas.

Before tightening the cover of the tank, lubricate the thread and O-ring using soapy liquids or lubricants for

plastic pipes/couplings.

To prevent unauthorised opening of the cover, it is recommended to fix it to the station with

the screw and the metal bracket provided. (see fig. 6B).

The screw must be passed through the slot on the outer edge of the cover, and screwed into the seat in the tank.

There are two cylindrical seats on the cover which can be used to facilitate closing of the cover by levering

with suitable tools (see fig. 6A).

Fig. 6A Fig. 6B

ENGLISH

5.8 Provision for emergency drainage

On the rear, at the base of the station, is a connection for an emergency drainage system, marked by the

symbol . You can use the connection to attach a secondary pump (for example a manual diaphragm

pump), the discharge pipe of which must be independent from that of the internal electropump in the station.

Identify the seat for the duct on the bottom of the station, open the duct and connect the emergency drainage

pipe. Check that the coupling is watertight.

5.9 Non-return valve

Install a non-return valve in the pipe connecting to the public/private sewer network. This will avoid the reflux

of liquid. Place the valve at a distance of at least 1 metre from the lifting station to allow the flow of liquid,

moved by the pump, to open the shutter of the valve (unless indicated otherwise by the manufacturer).

Always refer to the local and/or national regulations, laws and standards in force.

The non-return valves are available as accessory kits.

5.10 Interception gate valve

Install an interception valve in both the inlet pipe and the delivery pipe (connection to the public/private sewer

network). In this way maintenance work can be carried out without having to drain the whole system. Gate

valves or ball valves may be used.

The interception valves are available as accessory kits.

See example of installation in chapter 4.

ENGLISH

6. PUMP INSTALLATION

Not applicable for models Fekabox 200 – Fekafos 280 – Fekafos 550 which have the pump already fitted

inside.

Ensure that the difference in level between the pump and the sewage network is compatible

with the pump performance.

Fekabox 200 l: For references of the details see diagram on page 41

The Fekabox range is equipped with a 2″and 1″1/4 polypropylene lowering device with anti-rotation bracket,

and therefore intended for only one automatic single-phase pump with float ≤20Kg.
