 Antique iron & Brass pump bilge pump Gilbert & Barker Springfield 1901 pump is strong. Was able to remove the spout for shipping. Bent short part of the pipe but assembles and disassembles fine. I sprayed wd 40 on all the threaded parts as well to aid it removing if you need to adapt it, should help.
