Connecting hoses

Note: The direction of the water flow through the pump housing can be identified from the arrow on the housing and on the carrying handle (2).

For the pump, you will need two commercially available hoses with a G 3/4" threaded nut and a minimum diameter of 19 mm.

To ensure that the pump works correctly, a reinforced hose is required for the suction side (hose connection on the inlet (14)). For optimum pump performance, this hose should be as short as possible.

Note: Always place a flat gasket between the hose connection on the pump and the hose itself. The threads on the pump are not self-sealing; without a flat gasket, water can escape at high pressure.
Only use seals with a suitable diameter in order to prevent a reduction in the flow rate.

Screw a hose into both the hose connection on the inlet (14) and on the outlet (1) until hand-tight.

If a hose will not screw on easily, check the hose has the correct connection thread and that the hose is screwed on straight. Unsuitable hoses or misthreaded screwing can cause damage to the threads on the pump.

To ensure the pump can operate at full delivery capacity, the diameter of the hoses must not be reduced. Therefore, do not use any thinner hoses or quick-release couplings. Make sure there are no kinks or pinch points in the hoses.
