Features
Superior Design
- Triplex plunger design provides smoother liquid flow.
- V-Packings are completely lubricated and cooled by the liquid being pumped.
- Special Flushed Inlet Manifold allows external flush for added cooling with high temperature liquids and lubrication with low lubricity liquids.
- Lubricated Lo-Pressure Seal offers double protection against external leakage.
- Oil bath crankcase ensures optimum lubrication.
- Close tolerance concentricity of the ceramic plunger maximizes seal life.
Quality Materials
- Precision design 304 and 316 stainless steel valves and seats are hardened and polished for ultimate seating and extended valve life.
- Forged brass, 316 stainless steel, duplex stainless steel or nickel aluminum bronze manifolds for strength and corrosion resistance.
- Special concentric, high-density, polished, solid ceramic plungers provide a true wear surface and extended seal life.
- Specially formulated, CAT PUMP exclusive, V-Packings offer unmatched performance and seal life.
- Die cast aluminum crankcase provides high strength, minimum weight and precision tolerance control.
- Chrome-moly crankshaft gives unmatched strength and surface hardness.
- Oversized crankshaft bearings with greater loading capacity mean longer bearing life.
Easy Maintenance
- Wet-end is easily serviced without entering crankcase, requiring less time and effort.
- Inlet and discharge valve assemblies interchange for easier maintenance.
- Valve assemblies are accessible without disturbing piping, for quick service.
- Preset packings mean no packing gland adjustment is necessary, reducing maintenance costs.
Electrical

Formulas for Pump System Calculations:
- Determining Pump R.P.M.: (Desired G.P.M. / Rated G.P.M.) x Rated R.P.M. = Desired R.P.M.
- Determining Required H.P.: (GPM x PSI) / 1460 = Electric Brake H.P. Required
- Determining Motor Pulley Size: (Pump Pulley O.D. x Pump R.P.M.) / Motor R.P.M. = Motor Pulley O.D.
Cautions and Warnings
- All High Pressure Systems require a primary pressure regulating device (e.g., regulator, unloader) and a secondary pressure safety relief device (e.g., pop-off valve, safety valve, relief valve).
- Failure to install such relief devices could result in personal injury or damage to pump or property.
- CAT PUMPS does not assume any liability or responsibility for the operation of a customer's high pressure system.
- Read all CAUTIONS and WARNINGS before commencing service or operation of any high pressure system. These are included in each service manual and with each Accessory Data Sheet.
