Pump manufacturing process


The water pump housing is made from a piece of sewer pipe 40 mm long. On the one hand, it needs to be muffled. To do this, you can unravel another section of pipe lengthwise, align it using a hair dryer, cut out the plug from the resulting plate and glue it onto the workpiece. Then a hole for the shaft is drilled in the center of the plug.
