Choosing the right Little Giant Condensate Pump tubing size for your system is essential for ensuring that your condensate pump runs efficiently. The wrong size tubing can cause the AC condensate pump to become clogged or not pump enough water.
The following steps will help you determine the correct size of tubing for your system.
Step 1: Measure the length of the tubing you need.
Measure from the outlet of the condensate pump to the point where the condensate will be discharged. This will help you determine the ideal tubing length.
Step 2: Determine the size of the condensate pump.
There are several sizes of Little Giant Condensate Pumps available, ranging from 1/6 HP to 3/4 HP. Knowing the size of your pump will help you determine the size of the tubing you need.
Step 3: Determine the size of the inlet and outlet ports.
Measure the diameter of both the inlet and outlet ports of the condensate pump. This will help you determine the size of the tubing you need.
Step 4: Choose the correct size of tubing.
The most common sizes of Little Giant Condensate Pump tubing are 1/2 inch, 3/4 inch, 1 inch and 1-1/4 inch. Most condensate pumps require a 1/2 inch or 3/4 inch tubing size. If your condensate pump has a larger inlet or outlet port, you will need a larger size of tubing.
Step 5: Install the tubing.
Make sure to use the correct fittings to connect the tubing to the condensate pump. Once the tubing is securely connected, you can turn on the pump and test its operation.
