Please Note: Only One Threaded Drain/Bleeder Port
The original Aqua-Flo XP2/XP2e wet end faceplate had 3 threaded drain/bleeder holes. Newer wet ends now come with only one threaded port. The other holes are molded into the plastic but do not have threads cut into them. If your installation needs more than one connection, you will need to tap the extra hole(s).
The Aqua-Flo XP2e pump wet end uses 1/4"-18 NPSM straight pipe threads for the drain plug opening. To add the threads, you will need a 1/4"-18 NPSM straight pipe thread tap. Carefully cut the threads by hand, keeping the tap straight and backing it out periodically to remove plastic shavings. Do not overtighten the drain plug when installing it.
Important: Use an NPSM straight-thread tap, not an NPT tapered-thread tap. The original drain plug uses an O-ring to create the seal.
This is a Complete Aqua-Flo 2.0HP Wet End Assembly featuring 2" x 2" connections (approximately 3" across threads) with side discharge configuration for 48 frame XP2 and XP2e pump systems. Designed for compatibility with 48 frame motors rated at 10.0 Amps high speed for 230V operation or 16.0 Amps high speed for 115V operation with 1/4" thru-bolt configuration. Works with both single speed and dual speed motor configurations. Features 90-degree rotational capability for adjustable discharge positioning. This complete assembly includes: volute housing, mechanical seal, impeller, wear ring, suction cover, suction cover o-ring, drain plug with o-ring, and all necessary suction cover mounting screws.
For installations requiring a barb fitting on the wet end face for small hose connections, consider these compatible options. Silicon sealant is strongly recommended for proper installation as pipe tape does not provide adequate sealing on these fittings:

Barb Adapter, 3/8"b x 1/4"mpt, With Silicon Kit Pump Wet End Face fits Aqua-Flo & CMP
Important Selection Note: Always verify horsepower selection based on your motor's amperage rating using the reference chart below. A 48 frame motor typically measures approximately 5 1/2" across the motor body, features 1/4" thru-bolt heads, and has approximately 5 3/16" spacing between thru-bolts when measured in cross pattern. By comparison, 56 frame motors measure roughly 6 1/4" across the motor body, use 5/16" thru-bolt heads, and have approximately 5 7/8" thru-bolt spacing in cross pattern configuration.
