Crown CR-27DC – Engineered for Demanding Basement Dewatering Applications
The Crown CR-27DC sump pump is built for demanding sub-surface water management. With a rugged 1/2 HP motor, corrosion-resistant components, and automatic operation, this unit is purpose-built for professional-grade basement installations where reliability and performance are essential.
Whether deployed in retrofit or new construction, the CR-27DC is suitable for high-volume dewatering where system uptime and long-term durability are critical. The pump’s efficient design and high flow capacity make it an ideal choice for contractors seeking dependable performance under variable groundwater conditions.
Core Engineering Benefits
Heavy-Duty 1/2 HP Motor – Capable of sustained high-flow output for rapid water evacuation.
Corrosion-Resistant Housing – Resilient under extended exposure to moisture and contaminants commonly present in sump pits.
Integrated Float Switch – Activates automatically based on water level, minimizing intervention and risk of flooding.
Efficient Electrical Profile – Operates at 115V with reduced amperage draw for energy-conscious system integration.
Thermal Overload Protection – Prevents premature motor failure under excessive operating temperatures.
Technical Specifications
Motor Output: 1/2 HP
Discharge Rate: Up to 3,000 GPH at optimal lift
Total Dynamic Head: Rated up to 25 ft
Power Supply: 115 VAC
Unit Weight: 30 lbs
Installation Considerations
Installation should be performed by a licensed contractor to ensure code compliance and functional reliability. The CR-27DC includes standard discharge fittings and is compatible with most 1-1/2" sump basin piping configurations. Tools required for install typically include:
Pipe wrench and/or channel locks
Schedule 40 PVC pipe and fittings
PVC primer and cement
Pipe level and thread sealant tape
Proper basin preparation and float clearance must be verified during install. Electrical connections should be made in accordance with NEC standards and protected by a GFCI outlet.
Contractor-Focused Advantages
The CR-27DC is optimized for use in residential and light commercial job sites. Its compact footprint supports tight-space installs, while the motor’s high-efficiency windings and overcurrent protection reduce service callbacks. Internal float switch calibration ensures consistent operation under variable load conditions.
Key Operational Features
Sealed Construction – Protects motor and electronics from sump pit contaminants.
Space-Efficient Profile – Facilitates installation in confined or retrofit spaces.
Reliable Start/Stop Logic – Automatic float system supports unattended operation without false cycling.
Quiet Operating Mode – Pumping noise is reduced via precision impeller design and motor insulation.
Integrated Safety Systems – Includes built-in thermal cutoff to prevent motor burnout under adverse conditions.
Specification-Driven Selection
For contractors requiring a sump pump with verified performance in flooded basements, crawlspaces, or drainage basins, the Crown CR-27DC delivers field-proven reliability. Its performance profile supports high-throughput applications with reduced installation complexity.
