Full details

This Sealey TP88 displacement pump is designed for efficiently transferring non-corrosive fluids like oils, antifreeze, and degreasants. It offers a simple, robust solution for users needing to move liquids from containers, with its key benefit being its heavy-duty construction and self-priming capability. A potential caveat is its suitability only for non-corrosive substances. Key features include a pistonless design, a non-drip nozzle, a 2" BSP adaptor, and a dip tube, with an accessory kit enabling use on a wide range of drum sizes.

Troubleshooting

Pump does not prime or draw fluid

Ensure the dip tube is submerged correctly in the fluid. Check that all connections are secure and airtight. Verify the fluid level is sufficient. Make sure the pump is being operated with smooth, full strokes.

Fluid leaks from connections

Tighten all threaded connections, including the 2" BSP adaptor if used. Inspect seals and O-rings for damage and replace if necessary.

Slow fluid transfer rate

Check for any blockages in the dip tube, pump mechanism, or outlet hose. Ensure the fluid viscosity is within the pump's operating range; very thick fluids may transfer slower. Clean the pump if residue has built up.

Pump handle is stiff

Operate the pump with a light lubricating oil to help free the mechanism. Check for any debris obstructing the piston movement. Ensure the pump is clean internally.
