beckett NK3 Universal Fountain Pump Kit Instruction Manual

beckett NK3 Universal Fountain Pump Kit

After carefully reading all pump safety info and instructions and being sure pump is unplugged, begin assembling your Universal Fountain Kit to your pump as shown below. Install the two-way flow control valve, extension tubes and fountain body. These connect using a taper fit and only need to be pressed together. Next choose the fountain nozzle adapter you would like to use and install/adjust as per the instructions below under nozzle adaptor instructions. If you are connecting a secondary accessory/water feature at this time you will need to select and/or install the proper vinyl hose adaptor at the two-way flow control valve. Connect the hose after installing your pump in the pond. Adjust flow as per the instructions below under two-way valve instructions. If you are not installing a secondary feature at this time, you need to shut-off this part of the flow control valve as per the flow control valve instructions below.

NOZZLE ADAPTOR INSTRUCTIONS

• Spray Head : Snaps on the fountain body – has 19 streams of water – use flow control to adjust height/size of spray – lower the spray height during windy conditions for better control of the spray.
• Waterbell : Insert into fountain body until it bottoms out then pull the waterbell up about 1/4” – moving waterbell deeper into fountain will make spray thinner- adjust the thickness of the waterbell spray by moving the water bell up and down in the fountain body – adjust the size/diameter of spray with the flow control – waterbell spray may be affected by windy conditions, adjust as necessary.
• Bubbler : Inserts into the fountain body until the ribs bottom out – provides a tube of water mixed with air – use flow control to adjust height/size of spray – great for hot months when fish need extra oxygen due to increased water temperature

TWO-WAY VALVE OPERATION INSTRUCTION

CHANGING THE TWO-WAY VALVE INTO A ONE-WAY VALVE

1. VALVE OPTION : You can change your Two-Way Valve into a One-Way Valve using the illustration below and by following step 2. If you do not plan to run a secondary water feature you can simplify the use of your valve by making it a One-Way Valve. In the event you choose to add a secondary feature later you can always reinstall the Valve Body (B) by reversing the procedure in Step 2.
2. VALVE CONVERSION : To convert the Two-Way Valve into a One-Way Valve remove the Valve Body (B) from the Fountain / Extension Tube Adaptor (A) it simply snaps out with a twist and pull, then using a pair of pliers to grip the Valve Insert control (C) and pull it out of the Valve Body (B). Insert the Valve Insert Control (C) into the Extension Tube Adaptor (A), push it in until it snaps into place and rotates freely.

DISCHARGE ADAPTORS : Parts (7) & (8) Easily thread onto the existing external threads (1/4” & 1/2” npt pipe threads) on the pump volute discharge
