Abstract
A template is provided for pump feet cups that is separately formed from the sump basin, positioned therein via sump basin flats to have a predetermined orientation with respect to the sump basin cover, and then attached to the sump basin to maintain a fixed position therein. A single template can be used with a variety of pump feet orientations by forming the template from a plurality of cups joined by a separable web. Foam or like material can be placed within the cups to receive the pump feet. Where the sump basin is formed from polyethylene material, the template can be molded from like material and then fixed to the lower interior surface of the sump basin by ultrasonic welding.
