Description
Plunger Pumps are designed for a wide variety of high
pressure washing applications. They are constructed
of die-cast bodies and feature a forged brass head.
Internal components include special thick solid ceramic
plungers for long life and durability. Precision cast
cooling fins are anodized for maximum heat dissipation.
Oversized tapered roller bearings and the precision
supports assure proper shaft alignment and maximum
life. Valve cages of special designed Ultra-Form
provide positive seating and extended life. One-piece
connecting rods are either a special alloy aluminum or
bronze oversized for strength and load disbursement.
These pumps are designed for gearbox , belt drive, or
coupling drive systems, electric motor 182-184 frame
driven systems, or gasoline engine driven systems.
