Mounting Dosing Pumps

chipmunkofdoom2 · May 11, 2021

I need to mount dosing pumps in a project box. I'm hoping to get some feedback on the best way to mount them. As you can see from the pictures below, the only real way to mount them would be through the two support holes in the bracket of the pump. I don't really want to drill the box, and even if I did I'm afraid it might be hard to line up the holes with the bolts and get a snug fit. I could drill through the front of the bracket on either side and secure the pump to the front of the box. There's not a lot of room on the one side of the bracket though, so that might be tough.

What are your thoughts? Is there any type of mounting hardware or solution I may not know about that would make this easier? Thanks!

Could you use some PVC pipe (or similar) to make legs for it? Then get some long bolts, put them through the holes on the pump, through the legs and into two holes drilled on the bottom of the box?

Thanks @T-J, I think that would help. I have spare 1/2" PVC, I'll see if it's too big. If it is, a wooden dowel slightly bigger than the mounting holes would work.

Still curious to hear other thoughts as well.
