Little Giant 505702 Submersible Sump Pump 1/4 Hp 35 Gpm

Product Description

The LITTLE GIANT 505702 is a 1/4 HP submersible sump pump designed for automatic basement sump applications. Rated at 35 GPM at a 5-foot head, it delivers reliable dewatering performance in residential and light commercial settings. The oil-filled, shaded-pole motor includes thermal overload protection to guard against burnout during extended run cycles. An integral snap-action float switch handles automatic operation without external controls. The unit ships with a 3/4-inch GHT garden hose adapter and a 10-foot power cord, making it ready to install in most standard sump pit configurations.

This pump is intended for basement sump pits where automatic water removal is required. It handles liquids up to 120 degrees F and passes solids up to 3/8 inches in diameter through its screened inlet. The 1-1/2-inch FNPT discharge outlet connects to standard piping. It operates on a 115-volt, 3.5-amp circuit, drawing 660 watts at full load. Licensed plumbers and HVAC service technicians commonly install this unit in residential sump applications, though it also fits light-duty commercial dewatering needs.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber in accordance with applicable local plumbing codes. Disconnect power to the circuit before lowering the pump into the pit or making any discharge piping connections. Ensure the sump pit diameter is sufficient to allow the float switch to operate freely without obstruction. Verify the discharge line is properly supported and that a check valve is installed in the discharge line above the pump to prevent backflow.
