Suction Hose
Suction hoses (a) must be rigid enough not to collapse when pump is
operating.
Discharge Hose
Discharge hoses (b) are usually thin-walled collapsible hoses. Rigid
hoses similar to those used as suction hoses may also be used as
discharge hoses.
Note: Suction and discharge hoses are available from WACKER.
Contact your nearest dealer for more information.
Suction Hose to Inlet Coupling
Two clamps (c) are recommended for connection of suction hoses to
inlet coupling.
Note: This connection is important. Even a small air leak on the
suction side of pump will prevent the pump from priming.
Other Hose Connections
For other hose connections, one T-bolt or worm-gear type clamp is
usually sufficient to hold hoses in place. In some cases, slight
variances in hose diameters may make it necessary to add more
clamps in order to maintain tight connections.
