Description
HCP FN-2.5UL 1/2 HP Sewage Ejector Pump for 2-Inch Solids
A 1/2 HP sewage ejector pump is the standard size for a single basement bathroom, and the HCP FN-2.5UL does that job on 6.4 amps. The HCP FN-2.5UL sewage ejector pump passes the full 2-inch solids a residential ejector needs, lifting raw sewage from a below-grade basin up to the gravity main or septic tank. It is cUL and CSA certified, with 240V and 575V three-phase versions available.

Key Features of HCP FN-2.5UL 1/2 HP Sewage Ejector Pumps
- The HCP FN-2.5UL sewage ejector pump passes solids up to 2 inches (50 mm) through its non-clog vortex impeller, the full residential rating, so a toilet can drain straight into the basin.
- It draws 6.4 amps on 120V, well under the 9 amps or more that many 1/2 HP ejectors pull. That leaves headroom on the older or shared circuits, which a basement retrofit usually lands on.
- A moisture sensor watches the seal chamber, and a motor thermal protector guards against overheating. Most 1/2 HP ejectors carry thermal protection alone, with no early warning of a seal leak.
- Twin mechanical seals, carbon/ceramic over silicon carbide, run in an oil bath to keep sewage out of the motor. The casing is cast iron (FC200), and the vortex impeller is glass-reinforced PA+G50.
- Certified to cUL (UL778) and CSA C22.2 No. 108-14, with an IP68-sealed motor. Three-phase versions (240V at 2.4 A, 575V at 1.0 A) suit light-commercial buildings, which few 1/2 HP ejectors offer at all.

Performance Overview
The HCP FN-2.5UL sewage ejector pump moves up to 80 GPM and lifts to about 22 ft, with a standard duty point of 58 GPM at 13.1 ft. That suits the short lift from a basement basin up to a gravity main, which is what most residential ejector installs actually ask for. Size by the lift you need, not by peak flow.
1/2 HP or 1 HP Sewage Ejector: Which Do You Need?
Both pass 2-inch solids. Size by fixtures and lift, not by horsepower alone.
| Spec | FN-2.5UL (1/2 HP) | FN-21UL (1 HP) |
|---|---|---|
| Best for | A single or half bath, a modest lift | A full bath with shower, more than one bath, or laundry tied in |
| Max flow | 80 GPM | 100 GPM |
| Max head | About 22 ft | About 36 ft |
| Current at 120V | 6.4 A | 10.4 A |
| Solids | 2 inch | 2 inch |
Rule of thumb: a 1/2 HP sewage ejector pump like the FN-2.5UL handles a single basement bathroom with a short run to the main. Step up to the 1 HP FN-21UL for a full bathroom with a shower, more than one bathroom, laundry tied into the basin, or a long or high lift.
Applications
- Basement and below-grade bathrooms
- Raw sewage transfer to a gravity main or septic tank
- Sewage basins in homes and small commercial buildings
- Simplex sewage ejector packages
- Light-commercial buildings running 240V or 575V three-phase
The HCP FN-2.5UL sewage ejector pump stands 15-1/8 inches (384 mm) tall and 9-5/8 inches (244 mm) wide, so it drops into a standard sewage basin. Check the height against your basin, then build the install out with a float switch, check valve, and control panel from the sewage pump accessories collection.

Frequently Asked Questions
What size sewage ejector pump do I need for a basement bathroom?
For a single basement bathroom with standard fixtures and a modest lift to the main, a 1/2 HP sewage ejector pump is the standard size. The HCP FN-2.5UL sewage ejector pump is built for exactly that: 2 inch solids, a 2 inch discharge, about 22 ft of lift, and a 6.4 amp draw on 120V. Go up to 1 HP for a full bath with a shower, more than one bathroom, or a high lift. If only a sink or laundry drains into the basin and no toilet does, an effluent pump such as the FN-2.5U (1-3/8 inch solids) is enough.
FN-2.5UL or FN-21UL, which do I need?
Both are sewage ejectors that pass 2 inch solids, so choose by fixtures and lift. The 1/2 HP FN-2.5UL covers a single bath with a short run, lifting to about 22 ft. The 1 HP FN-21UL lifts to about 36 ft and moves 100 GPM, for a full bathroom, several fixtures, or a deeper basin and a longer line.
How many amps does the FN-2.5UL draw?
The HCP FN-2.5UL sewage ejector pump draws 6.4 amps on 120V single-phase. Many 1/2 HP sewage ejectors pull 9 amps or more, so it leaves more headroom on an older or shared basement circuit. The three-phase versions draw 2.4 A at 240V and 1.0 A at 575V.
Is the FN-2.5UL certified for use in Canada?
Yes. It carries CSA C22.2 No. 108-14 as well as cUL (UL778), with an IP68 sealed motor. This matters more than it sounds. Electrical products sold and installed in Canada have to be certified by an accredited body or field-evaluated first. Many big-box sewage ejectors are UL-listed only, which can mean paying for a field evaluation before an inspector signs off on the install. The FN-2.5UL arrives already certified for Canada.
Will the FN-2.5UL fit my sewage basin?
The pump stands 15-1/8 inches (384 mm) tall and 9-5/8 inches (244 mm) wide, which suits a standard residential sewage basin. Measure your basin depth and diameter, and leave room for the float to swing, before ordering.
Does the FN-2.5UL come in a three-phase version?
Yes, in 240V (2.4 A) and 575-600V (1.0 A) three-phase, alongside the 120V single-phase model. Three-phase is uncommon on a 1/2 HP ejector and suits light-commercial and institutional buildings where 575V service is standard.
