It's 4" from the center of the output to the front of the union bushing that the PVC pipe connects to. The bushing is about 1.2" deep.

If you require additional clearance, you could even remove the entire unction fitting, by carefully removing it from the pump head. Then if crafty you could make a strainer if needed ..

For reference, this is what the volute looks like with the male fitting unthreaded from the face of the pump. Again, I would suggest leaving the male part that the union threads onto in the pump because it's machined to improve the pumps performance. Removing the union itself will save plenty of space and won't hamper performance.

I believed I have dicided I will just go ahead an re plump everything and use one of the flat strainers. that said which pump should I use it will feed 225 tank 50 sump 40 refugium along with 3 reactors I'm leaning towards the 230 but wandering if the 150 would be enough. also like the thought I can control it with the ghl.

How come the outlet on my 230W is on the other side? I drilled my new sump to accommodate the configuration which is the opposite of my old reeflo or most other pump for that matter.

So if I need to replace my pump with a new one, is that an option since the new pumps on the website have the different configuration than mine. If not, I will have to change the plumbing again.

Here is a picture I took when I got my RD3 230's a few years ago.I took this for comparison as I had a Superdart Gold and Hammerhead Gold on my system at the time.. The output hasn't changed and isn't going to change anytime soon.

I am sorry. I have mistaken the pic on my user manual.
I just checked my actual pump and it has the config as you stated. |

The intake strainers are titanium with machined PVC ends.
This is the one for the RD3 230. https://royalexclusiv.com/Accessorie...63mm::876.html
