Two types of pumps, but one set of directions.
Fill-Rite's NX25-120 & NX240 pumps have the same install process. Just follow the steps listed below or in the video linked above. Please note that foot mount bung adapters are also available for this pump.
Directions to install series pumps:
- Use a tape measure to measure the depth of your tank to determine the length of pipe you need to purchase. It is recommended that you use a 1-1/4" black iron pipe.
- Cut the pipe 3" short of the bottom of the tank at a 45° angle and clear any debris from the cut side of the pipe to prevent shavings from going inside the pump
- Disassemble the bung adapter from the pump
- Set aside the provided screen and seal
- Apply thread sealant to the pipe
- Apply thread sealant to the pump's bung adapter
- Thread the pipe into the bung adapter until it is hand tight and use a pipe wrench to go 1.5 to 3 turns past that point
- Thread the pump and attached pipe into the tank. Turn until it is hand tight, the use a wrench to secure in place
- Place the screen in the indentation of the bung adapter, then place the seal on top. Failure to properly seat the screen could result in fluid leakage
- Mount the pump on the bung adapter and secure with the four fasteners provided with a 3/16" Allen wrench. The pump weighs 25 lbs., so two people may be needed to complete this step. It is recommended that you tighten the seals in a diagonal order to help properly seat the seal and pump
- Attach the nozzle boot to the switch plate and secure it with the provided fasteners and a 5/16" Allen wrench
