Does anyone have any pictures of the pipe connecting a sight glass assembly in a Wayne 40A gas pump with the sight glass coming off the side. I have the sight glass but the inside piping is gone and do not know what it looks like.
Thanks

Thanks Dick, but I will need a picture to see what I need. Does anyone have one?

Craig, I have a Wayne 40 that I bought all apart and haven't got around to it yet. Went out to my storage shed and this is how someone took care of it on this pump. They welded a 1" cast fitting to the cast iron top.

My top is now just about finished and I can't weld onto it. Thank you though Dave. Guess I will just have to jerry Rig something up there. This is the simplest pump I have taken apart, and the painter likes me too.

This housing bolts to the cast top.

Craig what I did on mine is use a 1" nipple and a coupler on the inside. Just tighted the coupler so it tightens the visa guage againt the top. Richard

Craig, my visi-gauge has the hole in it as well.

I like Richards idea. Take a piece of steel stock and shape it to fit the relief in the top and then drill a hole in it large enough for the 1" coupling of visi-gauge to slide through and tighten it in place. The small screw in the visi-gauge housing will keep it from rotating.

Craig--The picture that Daryl has is correct. There was never any method to tighten everything up on the inside, so Wayne used that threaded hole and put a screw in it to tighten the visiguage against the pump.Wayne 40's use the same system.
I also welded a metal tab onto the vertical pipe and bolted the tab to one of the cross braces that the guts were mounted on.
Heres a picture of the inside of mine.
