Cast Iron Nostalgic Ornamental Hand Water Pump

PLEASE NOTE THESE PUMPS ONLY HAVE PRIMER ON THEM AND WILL NEED PAINTING

A traditional cast iron water hand pump normally found in courtyards or in the middle of the village square, ideal as a feature in the garden and has the added bonus of it really works. It can be used in combination with our nostalgic hand basin (050-15104). Leather seals and traditional check valves make this pump actually pump water.

H 1540mm 

It will lift 6m if used with a proper spring loaded footvalve and airtight hose and clips (see 1 1/4" footvalve package) .

FITTING INSTRUCTIONS

Please note when you receive your new Cast Iron Water Pump, it will be primer paint and will need a coat of metal paint with your preferred finished colour. 

All joints, including hose barbs should be made using PTFE tape.

Hose clamps and hose tails should be firmly secured.

Insert a hose tail into the bottom of the pump as shown in the diagram.

Push the suction pipe over the hose barb and securely tighten the hose clamp.

If using a foot valve, insert a hose tail into the valve, then push the hose barb into the end of the suction pipe that is going into the water and securely tighten the hose clamp.

If using an extension base, pass the end of the hose through the base and bolt the pump to the base using the 4 bolts and nuts. Position the pump and or the pump and base, mark the fixing points, drill the holes and using adequate fixings (Not supplied) securely fix the pump to the ground. When the pump is fixed securely and the suction pipe is in the water, prime the pump by pouring water through the slot in the top plate where the connecting rod passes through.

Once this is done, gently pull the handle up and down until water pumps out.
