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 part is a Complete XP2e 6.3" 2HP Aqua-Flo 2" x 2" ( Which measures about 3" Across the Threads) Side discharge 56 frame wet end for XP2 pumps. This wet end is used with a 56 frame motor that would have about 10.0 Amps on High Speed on a 230V motor and not available for a 115v motor. The motor used may be either a single or dual speed. The wet end may be rotated 90 degrees to change the discharge position. The complete wet end includes: the volute, seal, impeller, wear ring, suction cover, suction cover o-ring, drain plug, drain plug o-ring and suction cover screws.
If you need a barb for the front of your wet end where a small hose connects here are choices for those Barbs with or without sealer.. I always seal these with silicon Pipe tape does not work well on these fittings:
Barb Adapter, 3/8"b x 1/4"mpt, Pump Wet End Face fits Aqua-Flo & CMP
Barb Adapter, 3/8"b x 1/4"mpt, With Silicon Kit Pump Wet End Face fits Aqua-Flo & CMP
Note: You always base your choice of HP on the Amperage of the motor it is going on see the chart below.. a 48 frame motor measures about 5 1/2" across the motor and will have 1/4" heads on the thru-bolts and will measure about 5 3/16" between the thru-bolts in a cross pattern and 56 frame motor measures about 6 1/4" across the motor and will have 5/16" heads on the thru-bolts and will measure about 5 7/8" between the thru-bolts in a cross pattern..
