Why are the Henkel Loctite pumps drawing material back down from the hose?
- GGregory HarrisAug 18, 2025
If the Henkel Dispenser pumps are drawing material back down from the hose, it could be due to several reasons: * The check valve might be stuck open. In this case, remove the check valve and either clean it or replace it. * Air may be present in the material. If air is being drawn into the pump from behind the check valve, remove the check valve and fitting in front of the pump, then reinstall with Teflon tape. If air is entering through the shaft seal area, pump tube, or shaft seal block O-ring joints, tighten the shaft seal (replace if badly worn) and replace/reinstall the O-rings. If air is entering through inlet hoses or coupler, tighten or seal as necessary.
