Alternatively, a screw-on adaptor to accept 38mm bore hose is also supplied. The rubber adaptors supplied with the pump can be used to take hoses up to 51mm bore. This adaptor is suitable for hose sizes 35-40mm (ideally 38mm).
This Davies Craig 90 Degree Threaded Adaptor is designed for users of Davies Craig Electric Water Pumps (EWP) models EWP115 and EWP150. It offers a crucial solution for redirecting coolant flow by 90 degrees, facilitating cleaner and more efficient plumbing in custom engine builds. A key benefit is its versatility, allowing for AN-16 male connections or the use of 38mm bore hose. The primary caveat is its specific compatibility with only certain EWP models and the need for correct hose size selection.

Troubleshooting
Adaptor does not fit EWP thread
Verify that you have a Davies Craig EWP115 or EWP150. This adaptor is not compatible with other pump models or brands.
Leak at the pump connection
Ensure the adaptor is screwed in fully and that the pump's female thread is clean and undamaged. Re-tighten securely.
Hose connection leaks
For AN fittings, ensure the fitting is properly seated and tightened. For the 38mm hose adaptor, confirm the hose clamp is tight and the hose is the correct bore size (ideally 38mm).
