Magnetic Drive Pumps

[Chris_S]

Just acquired a Diablo pump from Angel Home Brew. Question is, which port is which? Can’t see any flow indicators etched or stamped on the housing.

I have asked someone from AHB if they can have a look at the thread.

Thats an MP15-RM, same as mine.
In through the centre of the head, out through the angled one.

Thanks, I read somewhere about another brand that was the case, but wanted to make sure.

Hi

Thanks for bringing to my attention chippy

Above is correct

Centre is inlet and outlet off to the side

If using a ball valve for flow control, only put on outlet. Shouldn’t restrict the feed to inlet

Don’t hesitate to get in touch if have any other questions. Here, tel number on website or email

As far as I know, the outlet on any pump will always ( or should) be above the inlet, it stops air bubbles being trapped and possibly damaging the pump.
