SINK MACHINE
The Sanicubic 1 VX is a 1.5 HP heavy duty simplex vortex system used to pump away
APPLICATIONS wastewater from several bathrooms and fixtures from an entire building structure. This
system is able to discharge the waste up to 36 feet vertical and/or 328 feet horizontal
using 2” pipe or up to 20 feet vertical and/or 1640 feet horizontal using a 4” pipe.
This lift station is ideal for uncontrolled environments in both residential and commercial
applications (ie. rental unit, offices, warehouses, etc). The Sanicubic 1 VX incorporates a
RESIDENTIAL COMMERCIAL vortex impeller capable of handling up to 2” solids.

Discharges the waste through either a 2” or 4” rigid pipe. A built-in non-return valve is
included on the internal discharge pipe.
Has been designed with a 2–1/2” vent connection on the top of the enclosure. All plumbing
codes require connection to a vent system. Please note that the vent system should be a
two-way air vent as air needs to freely flow both ways. Note: The use of mechanical vents,
air admittance valves or similar devices is not permitted.
The Sanicubic 1 VX is IP68 rated for possible submergence which eliminates any potential
water damage to internal components. It comes equipped with an external control panel
as well as a visual and audible alarm system (15 Ft long wire).
The pump discharges wastewater from several toilets, sinks, bath/showers, urinals and
even washing machines. The wastewater from other sanitary fixtures is drained into the
Sanicubic 1 VX via three 1–1/2” or 4” inlets on either side of the housing and on top of the
enclosure. Note that when draining wastewater into the pump through either of the side
inlets, an external check valve (not supplied) has to be installed. Also, note that there
PUMPING DISTANCE should be a minimum 11” height difference between the base of the Sanicubic 1 VX to the
bottom of the shower/bathtub drain or to the base of the toilet.
