Siphon Ports
The siphon port for The Red Jacket STP is in a siphon assembly that fits into one of the two vacuum ports (see
Figure 19). The port end can be swiveled after loosening the hex on top to accommodate the incoming siphon
tube. Torque the siphon assembly to 15-30 ft-lbs (20-41 N•m) after positioning.
Figure 19. Siphon Connection
The 1/4" NPT plug in the siphon assembly should be removed and the siphon line attached.
Before installing pipe threads, apply an adequate amount of fresh, UL classified for
petroleum, non-setting thread sealant. Apply sealant in a manner that prevents it from
entering and contaminating hydraulic cavities.
Installing a Siphon Assembly
Disconnect, lock out, and tag the power at the panel before servicing
the pump.
When servicing equipment, use non-sparking tools and use caution when removing or in-
stalling equipment to avoid generating a spark.
Kits Required:
• Siphon Cartridge Kit (P/N 410151-001)
• AG Siphon Cartridge Kit (P/N 410151-002)
Procedure:
1.
If a ball valve is installed down line from the pump, close it.
2.
Remove and save the protective plug over the service screw and turn the screw clockwise (see Figure 20). As
the screw approaches its bottom position, you will hear the system depressurizing. Continue turning the screw
until it can go no further. When the screw is all the way down, backoff the screw 4 turns to lift the check valve
and let the fuel drain out of the manifold’s hydraulic cavities.
3.
Remove one of the two siphon port plugs from the manifold (see Figure 20).
4.
Get the siphon cartridge from the kit and apply a coating of petroleum jelly onto the three O-rings on the
outside of the siphon cartridge.
5.
Insert the siphon cartridge into the siphon port (see Figure 21). Swivel the outlet port of the siphon in the
desired direction, and then hand tighten the siphon’s retaining hex body. Torque the body to 25 - 30 ft-lbs (34
- 41 N•m).
