ABSTRACT:
A method and apparatus for mounting an electric water pump adjacent the exterior wall of a bathtub or the like. The pump is fitted with mounting brackets having hooks and a separate mounting stand is provided to received those hooks and thus secure the pump at a desired location. The stand comprises an integral bottom plate and vertical plate preferably at right angles to one another. The vertical plate has numerous hook hanger slots located virtually from the bottom to the top of the plate and provided in numerous columns and rows to receive the hooks on the pump mounting plates. On the illustrated embodiment of the vertical plate there are 90 such hook hanger slots distributed in two spaced sections. A first section receives two hooks from one of the pump mounting brackets and a second section receives two hooks from another of the pump mounting brackets. The spacing between sections corresponds to the spacing between brackets and the spacing between hook hanger slots in each section corresponds to the spacing between hooks on each bracket. The pump may, consequently, be mounted at multiple height locations along a substantial extent of the vertical plate. The multiple columns of slots provide suitable mounting for pumps having different spacing between mounting brackets.
