MP Aluminum Pump Housing + Fittings
UK based member fitting a M.P Aluminum Water Pump Housing to a 440.
I would like to fit aluminum pipe fittings to avaoid possible corrosion from electrolysis - Todate, I have been unable to find a suitable supplier. This housing have been around for some time and this problem must have been dealt with before? The fittings I need come in two different sizes and use a USA style pipe thread (three fittings in total). PAW make two fittings that are similar in style to what I am looking for but they are the wrong size CHR-9125 and CHR-9126. Anyone know of a company that makes these fittings? Web address would be great - 800 numbers dont work from the UK! Thanks in advance |

LOL, not to worry about spelling or other little things. My family history goes back England. But my spelling and grammar isn't "All that."
I have a small block. The pumps are aluminum. The fittings are steel. The disimalar metals will not have a problem. Just use some teflon tape around the threads. By the time you have a problem, your grand kids will be old. Perhaps a big block owner can help with the proper fitting sizes and style. |

Thanks for the tip.
I contacted Earls and ordered two (3/8" NPT x 1/2" I.D Hose) & one (1/2" NPT x 5/8 I.D Hose) adapetrs. The 3/8 item is part number 984008ERL and the 1/2" item is 984010ERL. They come in a blue anodized finish. Problem sorted I Hope ! |
