My friend wanted to restore a Wayne 615, he looked high and low for a good candidate that he could afford with no luck. He swung by my shop and said that he was giving up on it because of the cost of the pump and restoration plus the parts. I told him I had all the pieces and parts for the base pump and we could put one together. In hind sight I wish I had keep my mouth shut but he said great lets do it.
So here are some the steps I went through to get him his pump. Just thought I would share and hope you enjoy, thanks.

I think I had the threads done three inchs top and bottom for max adjustment. If you go to home depot buy the pipe to lenght, they can thread to your desired thread lenght by removing the thread stop. Good news no extra charge. Hope this helps

Pipe threads are tapered, NPT. Conduit threads are straight, NPS. You need a electrical shop that do threads on conduit for large junction boxes. Mitch

I had the local pipe threader guy put 3 inches of thread on a pipe for me, and he was shaking his head, telling me it would never work! LOL I politely explained to him that it was for an old gas pump and he just didn't know the application, and everything would be fine! He did it for me then, and several times since. The big adjuster nuts that Wayne uses, work just fine with this type of threading!

Mitch is correct. You can get away with a pipe threader as long as you run an extra inch of thread. That way, the tapered thread will be at the top end of the threaded area that you won't be using.
