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 assembly is a full XP2e 6.3" 4.0HP Aqua-Flo wet end with 2" x 2" plumbing connections (measuring approximately 3" across threaded areas) featuring side discharge design for 56 frame configurations. Designed specifically for 56 frame motors operating at approximately 14.0 Amps at high speed on 230V systems and cannot be used with 115v motors. Compatible with both single speed and dual speed motor configurations. Volute housing rotates 90 degrees for adjustable discharge positioning. This full assembly contains: volute housing, mechanical seal, impeller component, wear ring, intake cover, intake cover o-ring, drain plug, drain plug o-ring and all intake cover mounting screws.
For connecting small diameter hoses to the wet end face, consider these barb fitting options with or without sealant. Silicon sealant is recommended for these connections as pipe tape is not effective:

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 according to the reference chart below. 48 frame motors measure approximately 5 1/2" across the housing with 1/4" thru-bolt heads measuring about 5 3/16" between bolts in cross pattern while 56 frame motors are larger.
