Bung Mount Configuration

WARNING! Threaded pipe joints and connections should be sealed with the appropriate sealant or sealant
tape to minimize the possibility of leaks. Leaks create the potential for fire or explosion.
The RD series pump mounts to the bung by way of the bung
adapter suction tube. The suction tube threads into the bung
adapter, and must be adjusted to a length that positions it within
3" from the bottom of the tank. The tank or drum must be vented.
Be certain power is disconnected before proceeding.
1. Change outlet configuration (A) for horizontal discharge
(optional). See Page 6 for instructions.
2. Screw nipple (B) into pump inlet and tighten liquid tight.
3. Screw other end of nipple into bung adapter (C) and tighten
liquid tight.
4. Screw threaded end (D) of the adjustable suction tube into the
bottom of the bung adapter.
5. Extend suction pipe into tank or barrel opening to within 3" of
bottom of tank or barrel. Do not rest suction pipe on bottom.
6. Thread bung adapter into bung and tighten.
7. Install discharge hose with a nozzle or valve at the end that
can be shut off tightly to prevent siphoning when the pump is
not in use.
8. Attach nozzle boot (E) to pump foot (optional).
