Hi all!

I am replacing my booster pump motor. When connecting the red and black wires, do they wrap around the screw? or do I buy a connector like in the second pic? If so, which prong does it go onto since there are two for L1 and two for L2?

I had assumed I could follow the wiring from the old one but it's a mess and has more wires than this new one....I've got the red, black, green wires stripped, just not sure where to attach them?

I'm pressed for time today and had hoped this would be easier!
Thank you!
Marci

If you have the proper tool for crimping them, then right-angle 1/4" connectors will make a neater looking installation, but I would probably just wrap the wires around the screw terminals, be sure to wrap the wire to that the end comes out on top in your picture (the little notch in the plastic makes it pretty difficult to wrap the wire the wrong way). By convention L1 would get the black wire and L2 the red but it really doesn't matter. I don't see a connection for the ground (green) in your picture, but there is likely a green screw somewhere in the same wiring compartment that will allow you to tie it directly to the frame of the pump.

Thank you

The 90 degree connector....which prong do I put them on?
Does it matter?

I do have a crimping tool
