Description
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 component is a full assembly 3HP Aqua-Flo 2" x 2" (approximately 3" across thread diameter) side discharge 48 frame wet end designed for XP2 pump systems. This wet end assembly pairs with a 48 frame motor operating at approximately 12.0 Amps on high speed with 230V power supply and is not compatible with 115v motors. Compatible with both single speed and dual speed motors. Discharge orientation can be adjusted 90 degrees for positioning flexibility. This complete assembly contains: volute housing, mechanical seal, impeller, wear ring, suction cover, suction cover o-ring, drain plug with o-ring, and all mounting screws.
For installations requiring a barb fitting on the wet end face where auxiliary hose connects, consider these barb options with or without sealant. Recommendation: Use silicon sealant for these fittings as pipe tape does not provide adequate seal:

Barb Adapter, 3/8"b x 1/4"mpt, With Silicon Kit Pump Wet End Face fits Aqua-Flo & CMP
Important: Always select HP rating based on motor amperage using chart below. 48 frame motors measure approximately 5 1/2" across motor body with 1/4" thru-bolt heads and approximately 5 3/16" between thru-bolts in cross pattern. 56 frame motors measure approximately 6 1/4" across motor body with 5/16" thru-bolt heads and approximately 5 7/8" between thru-bolts in cross pattern.
