FEATURES:

The Attwood 2-Way Faucet/Hand Pump is an efficient, low cost

water pump designed to satisfy the needs of the boatman or

recreational vehicle owner for an attractive and functional source

for dispensing of fresh water.

The pump pumps water from the boat’s own water supply tank

or as an ordinary faucet where pressure comes from a city water

supply. The knob serves to control the flow of water or as a hand

operated up and down motion pump.

Included are 3/8" ID fitting and compression fitting for 1/2" stan-

dard plumbing fitting and nut.

CAUTION:

To prevent personal injury always disconnect power

source before servicing or installing this product.

To prevent personal injury and water damage, shut off all

water to pump before servicing.

CAUTION:

Do not use synthetic rubber sealant (Silicone, RTV, etc.) or

any sealant which smells like vinegar to seal the pump or

its fittings. Use of these materials may cause the pump to

crack. It is best to use plumbers teflon tape where

required.

TOOLS AND MATERIALS REQUIRED:

1. Drill (3/8" or larger).

2. 3/16" diameter drill bit.

3. 1-3/8" diameter hole.

4. Channel lock pliers.

5. Hose clamp (optional).

6. Template for cutting hole.

7. #8 panhead screws (optional).

8. 1/8" diameter drill bit (for optional screw mounting).

Attwood marine hardware, navigation lighting, interior lighting, bilge

pumps, and other marine accessories are specified more than any

other brand by America’s best-known boat manufacturers as original

equipment. Look to Attwood for quality replacement parts and add-on

marine accessories.

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS:

1. Select a suitable location for hand pump, keeping in mind

that there must be at least a 2-1/2" clearance from front to

back and 5" from the bottom inlet to the counter top. The

mounting hole dimensions and (optional) screw layout are

shown in Figure 1.

2. Using template provided in Figure 1, drill a 3/16" diameter

hole. Next, using a hole saw, cut a 1-3/8" diameter hole.

3. Make certain the faucet knob is fully

down and turned clockwise until finger

tight. This will insure that the shaft nut

will stay in place within the threaded

section of the faucet. NOTE: If the shaft

nut falls out, insert it back into the faucet

with the word “UP” (which appears on

nut) in first.

4. Remove the bottom threaded cap,

flapper check valve and disk. Set aside.

Remove the large nut. Slide the faucet,

with gasket in place, into the 1-3/8"

hole while guiding the locator pin into

its 3/16" hole.

5. Reinstall the large retaining nut and

tighten it by hand, then 1/4 turn more.

DO NOT OVERTIGHTEN.

6. Reinstall disk, flapper check valve and

bottom threaded cap. Hint: Use a drop of cooking oil to hold

the disk in the center of the flapper check valve. Tighten the

bottom cap by hand.

7. Secure water connection using either 3/8" ID tubing

(securing with hose clamp) or female pipe connection.

8. To install this pump it is necessary that, if city water

hook-up is provided, a check tee check valve, such as the

Attwood 6115-1 or 6115A1 be installed to prevent city water

overflow through the entire system and to prevent back flow

into the supply tank. (See Figure 2)

NOTE: When connecting to city water pressure it is recommend-

ed that a 30-40 PSI pressure reducing valve be installed.
