Typical Low Level Installation:
In certain installations it may be necessary to
install a 90° bend on the inlet or outlet connections of the pump before the
flexible hose to accommodate a low level installation. For this purpose use a
22 mm stem elbow (not supplied).
If you have any concern either about using push-in fittings or should the joint
leak on final test isolate the water supplies and contact PumpAssist on
0844 98 000 97.
