Designed for Size 5 Pump Maintenance

K5VTC3 is intended for compatible Size 5 PULSAtron liquid ends. Its head size, material combination and wet-end suffix must match the original equipment before replacement.

How to Find the Right KOPkit for Your Pump

Pulsafeeder stamps the KOPkit number on every pump nameplate and lists it on the specification data sheet. From the model number, the fourth character is the head size and characters seven through ten are the wet-end code. A model in the format XXX5XX-VTC3-XXX takes the K5VTC3 kit.

PVC Head and PTFE Seals

The PVC pump head and PTFE seats and O-rings are the key identifiers of the VTC configuration. Verify suitability for the chemical, concentration and operating temperature.

K5VTC3 Versus K4VTC3 and K6VTC3

All three use the same VTC3 materials and 1/2-inch OD tubing. K4VTC3 fits Size 4 heads, K5VTC3 fits Size 5 heads and K6VTC3 fits Size 6 heads. The digit after the K must match your pump.

K5VTC3 Versus K5VVC3

K5VVC3 shares the Size 5 PVC head, ceramic valve balls and 1/2-inch OD tubing but uses Viton seats and O-rings instead of PTFE.
