Hydra-Cell A04-002-1202 Pump/Motor Adapter Kit – NEMA 182-215TC C-Face for D03 and D04 Series Pumps
If you're running a Hydra-Cell D03 or D04 series pump and need to pair it with a larger NEMA C-Face motor, the A04-002-1202 adapter kit is exactly what the system calls for. Manufactured by Wanner Engineering — the company behind the Hydra-Cell line — this kit is a factory-authorized solution designed to bridge shaft-driven D03 and D04 pumps to motors in the 182TC, 184TC, 213TC, and 215TC frame sizes. It's the kind of part that may seem simple on paper but makes all the difference when you need a clean, secure, properly aligned installation that performs reliably under demanding conditions.
The kit includes the adapter bracket, socket-head cap screws, lockwashers, pins, and all the hardware needed for a complete mounting assembly. Everything is purpose-built to Wanner's specifications, so there's no guessing about fitment or load tolerances. Because Hydra-Cell pumps are seal-less by design, protecting that system integrity starts with a proper mechanical connection — and that's exactly what this adapter kit delivers. It's ordered separately from the pump itself, so it's a must-have add-on whenever a D03 or D04 pump is being configured for use with motors in this NEMA frame range.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Is the A04-002-1202 kit included when I purchase a D03 or D04 Hydra-Cell pump?
No. This adapter kit must be ordered separately. It is not bundled with the pump and is a required add-on whenever you intend to mount a D03 or D04 series pump to a NEMA 182–215TC C-Face motor.
Q: Can this kit be used with motors outside the 182–215TC frame range?
No, the A04-002-1202 is specifically engineered for NEMA 182TC, 184TC, 213TC, and 215TC C-Face motor frames. For smaller motors in the 56C–145TC range, part number A04-001-1202 is the correct kit.
Q: Is a metric motor adapter version of this kit available?
Yes, Wanner Engineering offers a metric adapter option for use with IEC frame motors. However, it is not the same as the A04-002-1202 — you would need to consult the factory directly for the correct part based on your specific IEC motor frame size.
Q: Will this adapter kit work with the M03 Mono-Block pump configuration?
Yes. According to Wanner Engineering documentation, the A04-002-1202 is also applicable to M03 Mono-Block series models when used with 182TC, 184TC, 213TC, and 215TC frame motors, and must likewise be ordered separately.
Q: Does using a genuine Wanner Engineering adapter affect my pump's warranty?
Using a genuine factory part like the A04-002-1202 is the recommended practice and aligns with Wanner Engineering's installation guidelines. Using non-factory or aftermarket components may void or compromise warranty coverage. Always refer to your installation manual and consult Wanner Engineering if you have questions about compatibility.
