Submersible pump lift out coupling

摘要

A lift out coupling for a submersible pump has a close quarter elbow that connects to an upward facing threaded discharge of standard submersible pumps, and can be rotated in the outlet without interfering with the pump body. In the past, it has been necessary to have an extension pipe that extends down to connect to a threaded outlet with the elbow portion above the pump itself. The coupling has a lift out portion with a close quarter elbow for connection to the threaded discharge and rotatable without interfering with the submersible pump, the elbow has a first sealing flange connected thereto with a lift hook for raising the pump and the lift out portion on guide rails. A fixed portion has a second sealing flange for mating with the first sealing flange, the second sealing flange connected to a discharge elbow forming part of a base support frame for installation in a sump, the frame having guide rails extending upward therefrom in the sump. The lift out portion has a lift out connection to the fixed portion, the connection supporting the lift out portion and the pump and retaining the first sealing flange sealed to the second sealing flange.
