Features
Superior Design
- Triplex Uniflow design provides continuous forward liquid flow for smooth operation.
- Wetted cups and floating pistons are lubricated and cooled by pumped liquid for long cup life.
- Mechanically actuated inlet valves give strong lift and easy prime.
- 304 stainless steel flat valve design offers positive seating and greater suction capabilities.
- Oil bath crankcase assures optimum lubrication.
Quality Materials
- Cylinder and sleeve wear surfaces are hard chrome plated 304 stainless steel for maximum durability and abrasion resistance.
- Chrome plated, brass manifolds and optional stainless steel manifolds are strong and corrosion resistant.
- Special high strength TNM connecting rods offer superior bearing quality strength.
- Chrome-moly crankshaft gives unmatched strength and surface hardness.
- Oversized crankshaft bearings with greater loading capacity mean longer bearing life.
Easy Maintenance
- Stepped stainless steel piston rod with chrome-plated, stainless steel sleeve allows easy replacement from front of pump.
- All wet-end wear parts are easily serviced without entering crankcase, requiring less time and effort.
- Wear parts are available in convenient kits.
