PDF datasheet mirror for 6841-6861-6841K-6861K (CAT Pumps). Verify with OEM before design.
Summary
Product Identification
- Type: 68 Frame Block-Style Stainless Steel Plunger Pump
- Models: 6841, 6841K, 6861, 6861K
- Design: Triplex plunger design
Features
- Superior Design:
- Triplex plunger design provides smoother liquid flow.
- Inlet and discharge valve assemblies interchange for easier maintenance.
- Oil bath crankcase assures optimum lubrication.
- Close tolerance concentricity of the ceramic plunger maximizes seal life.
- Standard Models: Lo-Pressure Seals and V-Packings are completely lubricated and cooled by the pumped liquid.
- Flushed Models (K Models): Special ported inlet manifold permits an external flush liquid providing cooling for hi-temp liquids and lubrication for low lubricity liquids.
- Quality Materials:
- Precision design 316 stainless steel valves and seats are hardened and polished.
- 316 SSL block-style manifolds for strength and corrosion resistance.
- Special concentric, high-density, polished, solid ceramic plungers.
- Specially formulated, CAT PUMP exclusive, V-Packings.
- Die cast aluminum crankcase (optional Cast Iron crankcase available for hazardous environments).
- Chrome-moly crankshaft.
- Oversized crankshaft bearings.
- Easy Maintenance:
- Wet-end is easily serviced without entering crankcase.
- Preset packings mean no packing gland adjustment is necessary.
Operating Limits
- Max. Liquid Temperature: 140°F (60°C)
- Note: Above 130°F, consult CAT PUMPS for inlet conditions and elastomer recommendations.
Feed Water
- Inlet Pressure Range: Flooded to 50 PSI (Flooded to 3.5 BAR)
Mechanical / Hydraulic

Important Notes
- All systems require both a primary pressure regulating device (e.g., regulator, unloader) and a secondary pressure safety relief device (e.g., pop-off valve, safety valve). Failure to install such relief devices could result in personal injury or damage to the pump or to system components.
- A detailed parts list and exploded view are available in the official PDF.
