How to assemble a 3-Stage PCP Pump
Вставка
- Опубліковано 25 сер 2024
- Budget PCP pumps regularly come in a slimline shipping box, as a result assembly is required. As the instructions can be unclear here is a quick assembly guide on a basic 3-Stage PCP pump.
Notes to consider:
- Never overtighten
- Always ensure Bleed Valve is closed during filling
- Always open the bleed valve to release pressure before disconnecting gun or test plug
- Models can differ slightly so some common sense is required
Thank you for this video because the instructions weren't great that came with it
No need t for teplon tape ?
@@heklik teflon or PTFE tape can actually do more damage and cause leaks
Perfect - so what are all the spares for?
Ikr, I assume they're for rebuilding it but the stupid ass instructions don't say anything about it. From my very limited experience these hand pumps are just gimics. I've pumped for 30mins total of pumping time with several 5min intervals to let the pump cool down and it's only at 1500psi. There's no way anybody uses these routinely they're a total joke.
@@petermiller1041 there is a brass test plug for ensuring the pump functions.
The other parts are for if there is a failure. The manual does not describe disassembly of the pump as it promotes people taking it apart without any reason to do so. If there is a fault take all of those spares to someone who knows what they are doing so you then don't have to pay for spares
I've seen several videos where there is a tube of oil or some type of lubricant included with the parts. Mine does not have that and i was wondering if the pump needs lubrication before initial use and if so, what type can be used. Some people told me that synthetic transmission fluid is appropriate.
They typically don't come with any oil however we would say avoid anything not designed for the purpose. Transmission fluid could cause excess wear to the pump. Ideally you would use a rubber safe oil like silicone (don't use anything with a solvent - like WD40)
