The "Big Brother" to one of our best-selling pumps! Expect the same quality that customers have come to expect from the MKII Pump (PMP500) but with morepower. This 65 watt magnetic drive pump is powerful enough for homebrewers and micro brewers alike. Use it to move hot wort in an all-grain system and also to transfer wort from boil kettle to fermenter. The housing of the unit is made from tough, food grade heat-resistant syndiotactic polystyrene (SPS). The magnetic drive allows you to slow down the flow without damaging the pump. This pump is not self-priming so do not run the pump dry. The pump head can be rotated in 60-degree increments, allowing for 6 different pump head orientations. The pump head can also be upgraded to a stainless steel version (PMP502SS).
Features:
110v/60hz
21.32 ft. (6.5 m) max head
13.5 Gal/52L max flow
3/4 inch fittings
Rotatable pump head
Max temperature: 248°F / 120°C
Water resistant casing

Most of my equipment is all ½” and overlooked this was ¾”. I reduced the inlet to and got a 1.5” tri clamp ball valve and then attached a ½ quick disconnect to that. This was to fit the all my fitting to the kettle, mash and HLT plus all my hoses have ½ quick disconnect to them.
I notice a lot of air bubbles that got trapped under my false bottom during the transfer so there is a lot of cavitation due to the size reductions on entry and exit.
What fitting do you recommend for the entry and what ball lock for the exit?
BEST ANSWER:Pretty sure the issue in not the entry but maybe the fact the flow is controlled by the ball value on the Mash tun, it should be controlled by a ball valve on the out side of the pump, that way the pump is not full force pulling which will draw air. If controlling on out side of the pump then that allows the hose to fill fully and cavitation ill not happen.
I have 3/16" hosting to a 1/2" quick disconnect that connect to a 3/4 in. FPT x 1/2 in. I think the issue is the water pressure is dropping at the inlet do the the size increase and this is causing cavitation. I am also transferring from a 55 gallon water barrel with the ball valve and everything fully open. I use a chugger to move wort until I get his figured out.

I used 3/4 NPT x 1.5 tri clamp and have had no problems. This pump is very powerful and I only use it as a transfer pump. It pumps 36-40 gallons into my fermenter in minutes
BEST ANSWER:This pump is likely not powerful enough to spin a CIP ball. It is possible to put multiple pumps in-line to increase the velocity of the output.

Beast. When you make 40 gallons of pure epicness, you need the epic power of the MKii 65 watt beast pump. Transfered 40 gallons like it was nothin. ????
I love this little pump it's a workhorse and hasn't let me down yet but the first thing I did was put the stainless steel head on it there's no better way to go
