All fittings in the kit are sized and rated for the Ext pump's operating conditions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eSpecification\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eValue\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCompatible With\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eAquascape Ext 12000 and Ext 18000 external pond pumps\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eKit Contents\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eInlet and discharge plumbing fittings\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMaterial\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePVC thermoplastic\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow to Use\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eReview the Ext pump installation manual and identify the fitting sequence for your specific site layout before beginning. Apply PTFE thread tape to all male NPT threads. Support plumbing runs near the pump to prevent mechanical stress on the pump housing from pipe weight or thermal expansion. Test all connections with the pump running at pressure before covering any buried sections. Inspect fittings annually for UV degradation if exposed sections are above ground.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIdeal for new Aquascape Ext 12000 and Ext 18000 installations where a complete, factory-matched plumbing connection kit is preferred over sourcing individual fittings from general plumbing supply.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Aquascape","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52698413236543,"sku":"AQ-48027","price":959.99,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0925\/8260\/9215\/files\/aquascape-replacement-parts-default-title-aquascape-ext-pump-plumbing-kit-43287375413567.webp?v=1776379477","url":"https:\/\/pondsonline.ca\/products\/aquascape-ext-pump-plumbing-kit","provider":"Ponds Online","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
