Pump Mounting Gasket
When the pump is mounted against a flat
surface, like a truck chassis, pockets of air
remain between the mounting surface and
back of the pump. These pockets remain
as a result of the casting process.
During normal operating conditions,
moisture, dirt, and other road debris may
accumulate over time, filling these open
spaces. The expansion and contraction
due to the freezing and thawing of moisture
in these pockets may cause damage.
The Lubecore™ pneumatic pump is equipped with nylon bushings, washers and a foam insert
to prevent damage caused by the buildup of moisture, and to isolate the pump from the
mounting surface. The isolation of the pump from the mounting surface eliminates metal-to-
metal contact and prevents corrosion.
