Debris from suction intake
can damage pump impeller -
Round or square hole
strainer baskets decrease
pump maintenance costs
Strainer baskets take abuse
in most applications - Wil-loc
threaded strainer baskets
can be replaced without
replacing the ball assembly
Kinked hoses create friction
loss and decrease pump
performance - Elbows
minimize friction loss with
smooth transitions
Long suction runs benefit
from full vacuum-rated pipe -
Wil-loc pipe is more cost
effective and easier to move
than multiple suction hoses
Rough terrain makes suction
line installation difficult -
PVC or rubber hose lays over
and around obstructions,
reducing set-up time
Self Priming and Auto
Priming volutes rely on
air-tight connections - Wil-loc
couplers are vacuum-tested
to reduce priming time
Kinked discharge hoses
increase Total Dynamic
Head (TDH) - Step Bows
allow for smooth flow from
volute to discharge point

Pump failures cause major
disruption - Flanged or
threaded pump connections
with Wil-loc couplers allow
for fast pump replacement
Open discharge can cause
erosion and lead to property
damage and fines - Pipe can
be used in most situations
to minimize erosion

Accidental or deliberate
uncoupling of by-pass
systems cause costly
spillages - Wil-loc Couplers
have secure locking pins

• Quick pump connections decrease man-hours for pump installation/dismantling
• Ball and Socket design securely seated by O-Ring for vacuum-tight seal
• Durable construction provides years of use and decreases replacement costs
• Lever locking jaw can be secured with locking pin to prevent accidental or deliberate uncoupling
• Up to 30º coupling articulation allows for misaligned connections
