BEST WAY TO INSTALL NEW H2O PUMPS?

[Kurt Horvath]

Just received 2 new Classic Shur-Flo pumps 3.5 GPH 45 PSI for the
Indulagance. In the installation instructions it states that you
should install 2' of flexible high pressure tubing on each side of
the pump. Also it states that the strainers," should not be attached
to any hard pipes."

WWWWEEEEEEEELLLLLLLL, the pumps currently have the strainers mounted
directly to the pumps, and of course the pumps are plumbed directly
to hard plastic pipes.

This has shades of the inverter re-positioning project.

Anybody have any ideas?

The two obvious choices are to replace the existing pump as they are
currently installed. Or add the 2' of flexible tube to the existing
system.

The reason for the flex tubing is to keep vibrations from being
transmitted through the coach plumbing, which does happens to some
extent. With the flex tubing wing nuts, it would be easier to replace
or repair the pumps, than if they were hard pipe plumbed, so that's
one plus for the flex pipes.

Anyway let hear some ideas. Thanks for your time
