drum pump replacement tubes

If you're looking for drum pump replacement tubes, the right choice depends on the type of drum pump you have (manual, electric, or pneumatic) and the fluid being pumped. Here’s a guide to help you find the correct replacement tubes:

Common Drum Pump Replacement Tube Types

1. Flexible PVC Tubes

• Good for water, mild chemicals, and fuels.

• Affordable but may degrade with harsh solvents.

2. Polypropylene (PP) Tubes

• Chemical-resistant for acids, alkalis, and solvents.

• Common in industrial drum pumps.

3. Stainless Steel Tubes

• Used for corrosive or high-purity liquids (e.g., food, pharmaceuticals).

• Durable but more expensive.

4. PTFE (Teflon) Tubes

• Best for aggressive chemicals (acids, strong solvents).

• Highly resistant but less flexible.

5. Santoprene or Nitrile Rubber Tubes

• Used for oils, fuels, and hydrocarbons.

• Flexible and abrasion-resistant.

Where to Buy Replacement Drum Pump Tubes

• Manufacturer Direct (e.g., Lutz, Finish Thompson, GoatThroat, Kijeka)

• Industrial Suppliers (Grainger, McMaster-Carr, MSC Direct)

• Specialty Fluid Handling Stores (Cole-Parmer, U.S. Plastic Corp.)

• Amazon or eBay (check compatibility)

How to Choose the Right Tube

• Check the pump model (e.g., Lutz JS20, Finish Thompson S1).

• Confirm inner diameter (ID) & length to ensure proper fit.

• Consider chemical compatibility (check with a chemical resistance chart).

• Temperature & pressure ratings (especially for hot/cold liquids).
