Sanicubic 1 VX Heavy Duty Simplex Vortex System (Grey)

The Saniflo 049 Sanicubic 1 VX is a 1.5 HP simplex vortex lift station engineered to handle black and gray water from multiple fixtures in both residential and commercial settings. Equipped with a vortex impeller, it pumps wastewater containing solids up to 2 inches in diameter, making it ideal for applications where gravity drainage is not feasible.

• Vortex impeller capable of handling solids up to 2" in diameter
• Discharge capacity: up to 36 ft vertically (2" pipe) or 20 ft vertically (4" pipe); up to 328 ft horizontally (2" pipe) or 1,640 ft horizontally (4" pipe)
• Discharge rate: 125 GPM at 3 ft head (2" pipe); 137 GPM at 3 ft head (4" pipe)
• External control panel with visual and audible alarm system
• IP68 rated for possible submergence
• Tank capacity: 15.9 gallons
• Dimensions: 19-7/8" H x 27-5/8" W x 21-5/8" D

• Ideal for basements, rental units, offices, warehouses, and other areas lacking gravity drainage

Installation & Operation Notes

• Requires 220-240V, 60Hz electrical supply; maximum amperage: 12 A
• Activated by internal pressure switches when wastewater reaches trigger level
• Inlets located on either side at the bottom and on top of the unit
• Three inlets accommodating 1-1/2" or 4" diameter pipes
• Discharge pipe options: 2" or 4" rigid pipes
• Discharge comes with built-in non-return valve

• Minimum height difference of 11" required between the base of the unit and the lowest fixture drain
• Effluent pipe leading into the pump must have a 1/4" per foot gravity flow
• If the incoming rate exceeds the discharge rate, the system activates the alarm stage
