Diaphragm Pump M 60
General Information
By buying the diaphragm pump M 60 you have purchased a Rheinstrom high-quality product.
We only use well-chosen high-quality components to ensure a trouble-free operation for many
years to come.
This type of pump has been especially designed to be used as a sewage or bilge pump for
private yachts or professionally used ships. The pump is sewage and seawater resistant due to
the use of red brass and stainless steel. The diaphragm and all rubber parts are oil-resistant.
Powerful direct current (DC) motors or 3-phase- (AC) motors make the pump suitable for
continuous operation (naturally aspirated when dry).
Each pump is checked thoroughly before leaving our house. Rheinstrom gives a 1 year
warranty for each pump and guarantees a trouble-free functioning if the unit is installed
professionally and treated properly.

Installation
There are many possibilities for positioning and mounting with foot and rear mounting, for
this pump. With the above and the movable connections the installation can be chosen in
accordance with the conditions on board. The pump’s housing can be rotated by loosening the
six fixing screws (60 degree steps) if necessary.
If you do not want to install the pump in the horizontal positioning please make sure that the
sealing-casing (suction and delivery) is turned into the right position. The lug has to be on top
(see drawing No. 3260103).
If the pump is to be installed below water-line and the outboard connection is also below
water-line the gooseneck pressure pipe has to be at least 500 mm above water-line. Please
make sure that the pipe cross-section must never be smaller than 1 ½ ‘’ or 38 mm at any place.
Otherwise the pump will not be able to work efficiently causing the diaphragm and the valves
to fail prematurely.
