A fluid transfer pump wash-out apparatus is provided to facilitate cleaning of fluid transfer pump system components. The wash-out apparatus is adapted for temporary or permanent insertion between at least one pump liquid source pick-up point and a pump intake. The body of the wash-out apparatus is preferably adapted for connection in a pick-up hose assembly. The wash-out apparatus body is joined to a flow valve that is coupled to an intake coupler. The flow valve is operable to control the flow of fluid from the first pick-up hose into the body. The intake coupler is in turn coupled to a first pick-up hose that transports fluid from the liquid source pick-up point to the wash-out apparatus. An output coupler joined to the output end of the body is coupled to a second pick-up hose for connection to the fluid transfer pump assembly. A wash-out hook-up is provided to couple the body of the wash-out apparatus to a source of cleaning fluid. A wash-out hook-up valve is provided to control the flow of fluid between the body and the wash-out hook-up. The flow valve and wash-out hook-up can be arranged to permit the fluid transfer pump to intake fluid from the liquid source pick-up point. Alternatively, the flow valve and wash-out hook-up can be arranged to permit cleaning fluid to pass through and cleanse all parts of the wash-out apparatus. The wash-out apparatus can be configured as, or for use with, a fluid transfer manifold for multiple containers.
