When Should a KOPkit Be Used?

Preventive maintenance can be scheduled according to pump operating hours, chemical conditions and the manufacturer service recommendations. A KOPkit provides a convenient way to prepare common liquid-end replacement parts before service begins.

Typical Maintenance Components

Pulsafeeder states that a typical diaphragm-pump KOPkit contains a pump head assembly with valve components, diaphragm, head screws, washers and an exploded assembly drawing. Check the current K3VTC1 packing list for exact contents.

PVC and PTFE Material Selection

The PVC head and PTFE seats and O-rings are key identifying characteristics. Match these materials to the original pump liquid end and confirm chemical compatibility.

Correct Replacement Identification

The VTC1 code must match the pump specification. The K3VTCJ version has the same abbreviated material description but a distinct wet-end designation.

Maintenance Procedure

Turn off electrical power, isolate the chemical feed and relieve pressure. Follow the manufacturer instructions for diaphragm and check-valve servicing, then inspect for leakage before returning the pump to operation.

Ordering

Choose Pulsafeeder K3VTC1 when the original pump requires the Size 3 VTC1 PVC/PTFE/ceramic double-ball configuration.
