Little Giant VCCA-20ULS Low-profile Condensate Pump 80 Gph

Product Description

The LITTLE GIANT VCCA-20ULS is a low-profile automatic condensate pump designed for collection and removal of condensate in applications where gravity drainage is not feasible due to space constraints. Rated at 115 volts, 60 Hz, and 1.5 amps, it delivers a flow capacity of 80 gallons per hour at 1 foot of head and achieves a maximum shutoff head of 20 feet at 115V. The 1/30 horsepower motor includes built-in thermal overload protection and a float switch for fully automatic start/stop operation. With a 0.5-gallon tank capacity and a compact low-profile housing, this pump fits tight mechanical spaces where standard condensate pumps will not. Licensed HVAC technicians and plumbers handle routine installation.

The VCCA-20ULS is suited for residential and light commercial applications including central air conditioning systems, refrigeration equipment, and dehumidification units where condensate cannot drain by gravity. It is also rated for use with high-efficiency oil and gas-fired condensing furnaces and condensing boilers that produce acidic condensate. The 3/8-inch barbed discharge fitting connects easily to standard condensate drain tubing. Its compact footprint makes it a practical choice for installations in confined spaces such as closets, crawlspaces, and equipment rooms.

Key Features

• Low-profile design for installations with limited vertical clearance
• Float switch enables fully automatic start/stop operation without manual intervention
• 1/30 HP motor with thermal overload protection to guard against overheating
• 80 GPH capacity at 1 foot of head with 20-foot maximum shutoff head at 115V
• Safety switch included for equipment shutoff on high-water condition
• Glass-filled polypropylene impeller for durability in condensate service
• Compatible with condensing furnace and boiler condensate applications

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-install condensate pump for residential and light commercial air conditioning, refrigeration, dehumidification, and high-efficiency condensing furnace and boiler equipment where gravity drainage is not possible or practical.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by a licensed HVAC technician or plumber. Disconnect power to all connected equipment before mounting the pump or making discharge and drain connections. Verify the discharge line is free of kinks and restrictions that could reduce flow or cause backpressure beyond the pump's shutoff rating. Local mechanical codes and the equipment manufacturer's guidelines should be consulted for proper condensate disposal requirements.
