Installation

The Fill-Rite RD Series pump is designed to be portable for your convenience and safety. It features a unique hinged vane design that eliminates the need
for a bypass valve. Because of its unique nature, the RD Series pumps can be installed/used in several configurations. Read each configuration prior to
beginning installation.
The RD Series pump is designed primarily for portable applications, using skid tanks, drums, barrels, and other portable
fuel containers to supply fuel. It is paramount to anchor the supply tank or drum to which the pump is connected to
ensure no movement occurs in transit or while fueling. Failure to secure the tank or drum can cause unexpected and
uncontrolled movement, resulting in damage, injury, death, and potential fire or explosion.
Do not use check valves or foot valves; valves reduce rate of flow and performance of the pump.

Bung Mount Configuration

Threaded pipe joints and connections should be sealed with the appropriate sealant or sealant tape to minimize the
possibility of leaks. Leaks create the potential for fire or explosion.
The RD Series pump mounts to the bung by way of the bung adapter
suction tube. The suction tube threads into the bung adapter, and must
be adjusted to a length that positions it within 3" from the bottom of the
tank. The tank or drum must be vented. Be certain power is disconnected
before proceeding.
1. Change outlet configuration (A) for horizontal discharge (optional).
See Page 6 for instructions.
2. Screw nipple (B) into pump inlet and tighten liquid tight.
3. Screw other end of nipple into bung adapter (C) and tighten until
liquid-tight.
4. Screw threaded end (D) of the adjustable suction tube into the
bottom of the bung adapter.
5. Extend suction pipe into tank or barrel opening to within 3" of
bottom of tank or barrel. Do not rest suction pipe on bottom.
6. Thread bung adapter into bung and tighten.
7. Install discharge hose with a nozzle or valve at the end that can be
shut off tightly to prevent siphoning when the pump is not in use.
8. Attach nozzle boot (E) to pump foot (optional).
