Franklin Electric PowerSewer V4PS Grinder Pump Station - Low Pressure Sewer System

Description Franklin Electric · Grinder Pump Station FPS PowerSewer V4PS Low-pressure sewer grinder station in a monolithic HDPE basin, 60 to 96 in deep: isolated pump support, C-channel lift-out, anti-siphon check valve, OSHA-compliant dry well and NEMA 4X control panel, with a 2 HP IGP or IGPH grinder. 2 HP Grinder 35 GPM Max Flow 200 ft Max Head 230V 1Ph 4 in Drop Inlet 1.25 in Socket and 2 in Spigot Discharge 157-248 gal Basin 32 in Top, 42 in Base x 60-94 in H Overview The FPS PowerSewer System is a low-pressure sewer station that pumps wastewater to a collection or treatment area, a proven alternative to gravity sewer and septic tanks for residential and commercial sites. It comes in 60, 72, 84 and 96 in basin sizes and ships ready to install. The basin is monolithic, rugged HDPE with a drop inlet and rounded bottom. The grinder sits on an isolated stainless steel pump support that carries heavier pumps, and lifts out on a PVC C-channel assembly; the discharge runs through a cast iron anti-siphon ball check valve. Electrical connections are made in a NEMA 4X junction box in an OSHA-compliant dry well, and the station is run from a NEMA 4X control panel. A 2 in remote vent cap in non-corrosive polypropylene with a stainless steel bug screen lets the vent sit away from the basin to keep the landscaping clean. Choose the pump by head. Franklin places the IGP standard series in applications below about 120 ft of head, and the dual-stage IGPH high-head series up to about 180 ft; with the IGPH the station reaches a maximum shut-off head of 200 ft and a maximum flow of 35 GPM. The patented cutting mechanism and high starting torque grind through tough material, and the hydraulics were designed to eliminate roping.

Performance — Will It Do What You Need? Find your total dynamic head across the top: the vertical lift from the basin to the highest point of the force main plus friction in the pipe.

Before You Buy — The Limits That Decide the Fit Limit Value Excavation Depth equal to the tank depth plus 4-1/2 in, on at least 6 in of compacted rounded gravel (1/8 to 3/4 in). Keep 7 ft and a 45° slope from structures, footings and property lines unless code says otherwise Anti-flotation ballast Concrete over the integral anti-flotation flange, at least 8 in thick, 4 in above the flange and 12 in out from the tank (at least 7 cu ft). This is the only ballast method Franklin accepts Grade Rim at least 1-1/2 in above final grade, with grade sloping away.
