Flojet 20115-229 End Bell Kit
The Flojet 20115-229 is the genuine motor end bell kit for Flojet pumps — the complete non-drive end of the motor supplied as a single assembly.
An end bell kit is the practical answer to a motor that has become unreliable rather than failed outright. The classic symptoms are all traceable to this one assembly: a pump that takes several attempts to start, one that runs then stops, one that has become noticeably noisier at the rear, or one that sparks visibly through the ventilation slots. Every one of those points at brushes, brush holders or the rear bearing, and the end bell carries all three.
Fitting it is also a great deal simpler than rebuilding the components individually. The assembly comes off with the through-bolts, the new one goes on, and the brushes bed in against the commutator over the first hours of running. Check the commutator surface while the motor is open — if it is deeply pitted or grooved, new brushes will not fix the underlying problem. Confirm the part number against the parts breakdown for your pump before ordering.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: How long do new brushes take to bed in?
Usually the first few hours of running. Until the face has worn to match the commutator curvature, contact area is reduced and a little extra sparking is normal.
Q: What does a healthy commutator look like?
An even, mid-brown polished surface with clean segment gaps. Deep grooves, blackened patches or gaps packed with carbon dust all indicate trouble.
Q: Should the motor be cleaned out while it is open?
Yes. Blow or brush out accumulated carbon dust, which is mildly conductive and collects in exactly the places you least want it.
Q: Is the through-bolt torque important?
It matters more than people expect. Over-tightening distorts the housings and pinches the bearings; under-tightening lets the assembly move. Firm and even is the aim.
