*Note: Not all stations require intermediate brackets. The following 
instructions are specifically for stations that are provided with this hardware.

Figure 18: Intermediate guide rail bracket installation illustration.

STEPS FOR FIGURE 18
1. With the guide rail pipe provided, measure out the sections. Guide rails are provided in 
20’ sticks, and quantity depends on the total depth. The guide rails may need to be field 
cut due to exact well depth.
a) For example: If the well is 15’ deep, place the intermediate bracket no more than 
10’ from the floor. This allows for two ~10’ sections and two ~5’ sections for each  
pump. 
2. Loosely attach the U‐bolt to the bracket and slide the bracket down the discharge pipe to 
where the first section of guide rail pipe ends. If flanges do not allow sliding the bracket 
down the discharge line, remove the U‐bolt and reconnect it where the first section of 
the guide rail pipe ends. 
3. Connect the next section of guide rail pipe directly on top of the intermediate bracket 
and tighten the U‐bolt nuts.
Submersible Pump Station

*Note: Not all stations require pipe bracing. The 
following instructions are specifically for stations 
that are provided with this hardware.

Figure 20: Shown above is an example of the pipe bracket installation, with a close up of the wedge anchor placement.

STEPS FOR FIGURE 20
1. Loosely install the U‐bolts on the discharge pipes and extend the bracket 
tubing on each side to reach the inner walls of the well.
2. Drill hole for wedge anchors with Roto‐Hammer. 
a) WARNING: Take care to not drill all the way through the wall.
3. Install wedge anchors.
4. Place bracket angles on each side.
5. Tighten wedge anchor hex heads, tighten U‐bolt hex heads.

STEPS FOR FIGURE 21 *Double door

1. Lower pumps down guide rails onto  – see page 3*
base elbows.
a) Lifting chain with shackles are 
supplied with the pump 
station materials.
2. The weight of the pumps creates a 
water tight seal to the base elbow.
a) There is a gasket between the 
guide claw and base elbow.
3. THERE IS NO BOLTING REQUIRED to 
connect pumps to the base elbows.

Note: The hoist shown on this page is not 
always included. Use the proper lifting 
equipment to lower the pumps into the 
well and to raise the pumps out of the 
well.

Figure 23: The above illustration is an example of electrical cable management.

ELECTRICAL CABLE MANAGEMENT NOTES
• It is essential to utilize proper cord separation techniques when hanging electrical 
cables.
• The electrical contractor is responsible for conduit installation. Jensen Pump Stations 
recommends 2” minimum conduit for both high and low voltage.
• Pumps typically have two cables exiting the casing. Refer to the installation 
instructions provided by the pump manufacturer to identify the low voltage and high 
voltage cables (typically, the high voltage cables have a larger diameter).
• All low voltage and high voltage cords MUST be ran in separate conduits to the control 
panel. 
• If low voltage and high voltage cables are placed in the same conduit, a current 
can be induced in the low voltage cables and create false seal fail alarms.

See the following page for continued information.

CONTROL PANEL INSTALLATION NOTES
• The location and installation of the control panel is the responsibility of the installing 
contractor or electrical contractor.
• Jensen Pump Stations recommends that the panel is mounted as close to the wet well 
as possible to avoid voltage loss and make start up and continued maintenance more 
convenient. 
• The panel enclosure may be mounted on a nearby wall or within a nearby structure. 
• Please pull all cables to the control panel. If the control panel is too far to use factory 
connections, contact JPS (775‐440‐2025) for longer cables. If a junction box is 
ABSOLUTELY necessary, take note of Pressure Transducer Handling instructions on 
page 4. It is crucial that the junction box is completely watertight.
• See Appendix A for junction box installation recommendations.
• Leave all excess cable coiled within the control panel. A JPS pump technician will make 
the electrical connections at time of start‐up/commissioning.

PumpSupport@JensenPrecast.com and call (775) 440 ‐ 2025 to schedule the date with
one of our Pump Technicians. Please allow us 2 weeks’ notice to plan the commissioning
of the station.
