Bridging between pump valves?

[dilalio]

Anyone know of a fitting that can go between 2 circulation pump valves, in place of the pump?

Need to remove the pump but it may have to go back in at a later date.

It's on 28mm and between 2 fixed points so would be much easier if I could slide something with flanges in and couple up to the existing pump valves.

Fingers crossed.
Cheers.

what about removing a head off old pump and seal a metal or plastic plate onto it .

I've a short section of 1 1/2 in heavy black iron threaded to correct length just for that job.
Have managed in past with 2 - 1 1/2 x 1in bushes with 28 x 1 in male iron to copper connectors.

Not sure I could seal up a plate on an old pump body! I suppose CT1 and some holes in it to clamp up with pump body screws!

The bushes and male irons sound a good option.

1.5" running nipple would be ideal if there such a thing?

I don't have the tools to thread a length of iron but could maybe get something run up by my local metal fabricator!

How about a cheaper power flush pump head adapter and a couple of blanks on the feeds?

Whats the length you need? Looks like you can buy bits here

Would one of these do it?

130mm long which I believe is pump span?
