Water Ace R10 Pump Wiring: Motor Bolts Hold the Case Together

Installing Conduit on Water Ace R10: Don't Remove Long Through-Bolts

Removed motor access panel bolts—turns out they're through-bolts holding the motor halves together. One spins freely (nut loose inside).

Reassembly Trick

1. Align motor halves carefully. 2. Start all bolts by hand—get threads engaged. 3. Use a long socket extension to hold the nut end (if accessible) while tightening bolt head. 4. If nut is truly loose inside, you may need to tap the motor housing gently to seat it, then tighten.

Better Approach Next Time

Don't remove through-bolts. Instead:

• Drill/tap the motor frame for a conduit fitting (if flat spot exists).
• Use a liquid-tight flex conduit with a 90° connector that clamps on the existing knockout.
• Or run wire through existing knockout with a cable gland.

If Bolt Won't Catch

Motor may need professional rebuild. But usually patience + alignment works.
