Premium Pump Breathers

Pump breathers are an essential component of a pump system that provides a passage for air to enter and exit the pump during operation. The breathers help to maintain the pressure balance in the pump and prevent contamination of the pumped fluid.

There are two types of pump breathers commonly used in industrial applications: baffle breather  and trap breather.

Available in two different sizes these breathers screw into the accessory port on OilSafe Premium Pumps. The 10 micron baffle breather is simpler and less expensive than the 3 micron trap breather, but they are not as effective in preventing oil mist contamination.

Trap breathers, on the other hand, are more effective in preventing oil mist contamination but are more expensive and complex.

The choice between the two types of breathers depends on the specific application requirements and the level of contamination risk.

Adapter

Adapter and quick connects are components used in fluid handling systems to connect two or more pieces of equipment or fluid lines. They are designed to allow for easy and quick connection and disconnection, minimizing downtime and improving efficiency in fluid transfer operations. The OilSafe premium pump uses a 1/4" male adapter. This brass fitting provides for secure and robust fitting of quick connects.

Discharge hoses for pumps

Discharge hoses are an essential component of pumps used for on-site fluid storage and transportation applications. These hoses are designed to transfer liquids or fluids from the pump to the desired destination, such as a storage tank, a machine, or a transport vehicle.

They come in various sizes, lengths, and materials, depending on the specific application requirements. Some common materials used for discharge hoses include PVC, rubber, and polyurethane .

The size of the discharge hose is typically determined by the pump's flow rate and the distance the fluid needs to travel. A larger diameter hose can accommodate a higher flow rate and reduce friction losses, making it suitable for longer distances or higher volume applications.

A hose with an anti-drip hook outlet or 1/4" NPT male end is a type of fluid transfer hose that is commonly used in various applications, such as in automotive or industrial settings.

The anti-drip hook outlet is a feature of the hose that helps to prevent unwanted dripping of fluid after the hose has been disconnected from the source or destination. It is typically designed to be used with a manual or automatic shut-off valve that stops the flow of fluid when the hose is disconnected. This feature helps to prevent spills, waste, and contamination of the surrounding environment.

Hoses with anti-drip hook outlet and 1/4" MNPT end

The 1/4" NPT male end refers to the size and type of connection on one end of the hose. The 1/4" refers to the diameter of the male end of the hose, and NPT (National Pipe Thread) is a standard thread type used in many fluid transfer applications. The male end is typically designed to be connected to a female NPT fitting on the source or destination of the fluid.

Overall, a hose with an anti-drip hook outlet or 1/4" NPT male end is a reliable and efficient option for fluid transfer applications that require a high degree of control and precision. The anti-drip hook outlet helps to prevent spills and waste, while the 1/4" NPT male end ensures a secure and compatible connection with the source or destination of the fluid.

In addition to size and material, other factors to consider when selecting discharge hoses include the hose's flexibility, durability, and resistance to abrasion, puncture, and kinking. It is also important to choose hoses that are compatible with the fluid being transported and any chemicals or additives that may be present.

Discharge hoses play a critical role in on-site fluid storage and transportation applications, as they ensure the safe and efficient transfer of fluids from the pump to the desired destination. It is important to choose the right hose for the specific application to ensure optimal performance, safety, and longevity.
