ReciPro Pump Options
Piston Wash
Designed to be added to any 1/8" piston ReciPro pump, the optional piston wash system can significantly enhance piston seal life.

The use of buffers or solutions which crystallize when exposed to air can lead to abrasion of the piston seal.  The wash system allows you to flush a washing solution behind the piston, thereby preventing crystallization.  Specify P/N 5575.

Quick Connect
The Quick Connect Kit simplifies removal and installation of the liquid end assembly and can be used on any 1/8" piston pump.  Specify P/N 5728.
Flow Rate Control Options
HP Series:  The HP Series uses a precision micrometer to adjust the stroke length of the piston, which in turn determines the flow rate.
VS Series:  The VS Series uses either a local potentiometer or remote control signal to vary motor speed.  Any VS can be fitted with an optional precision micrometer, which will allow for expanded low flow rate control.  The precision micrometer is a special option, specify P/N 1902.
Cylinder Wetted Parts Options
type 316 stainless steel:  is broadly compatible with a wide range of fluids.

PEEK (Polyetheretherketone):  has excellent chemical compatibility.  Avoid use with methylene chloride, THF, nitric, sulfuric, or halogenated acids.  PEEK is suitable for use at high pressures.

CTFE (chlorotrifluorolethylene):  has excellent chemical resistance.  Avoid use with THF and halogenated solvents.  CTFE is suitable for use at lower pressures than PEEK.

Piston Seal Options
uhmw polyethylene:  is broadly compatible with a wide range of fluids, has excellent mechanical properties.  The uhmw polyethylene seal is the standard seal.
Graphite Fiber reinforced PTFE (polytetrafluoroethylene):  has excellent chemical resistance.  Its somewhat inferior mechanical properties make its use preferred only in cases where chemical compatibility is the major concern.  The GF PTFE seal is a special option, specify P/N 5168 for pumps with 1/8" pistons.  For pumps with 1/4" pistons a Teflon based material is available, specify P/N 5100.
Plumbing Options
Inlet Valves:  Most stainless steel based pumps come with inlet valves which use a 1/4-28 tube nut, which is used with 1/8" Teflon tubing (BB and BBB pumps use an inlet valve with a 1/8" Swagelok connection).  Alternatives include:
10-32:  inlet valves can be configured to use a 10-32 tube nut and ferrule for use with 1/16" tubing.  The 10-32 valve is a special option, specify P/N 1371.
1/8" Swagelok:  inlet valves can be configured to use a 1/8" Swagelok fitting.  The 1/8" Swagelok valve is a special option, specify P/N 1373.
Outlet Valves:  Most stainless steel based pumps come with outlet valves which use a 10-32 tube nut and ferrule, which is used with 1/16" stainless tubing (BB and BBB pumps use an inlet valve with a 1/8" Swagelok connection).  Alternatives include:
1/8" Swagelok:  outlet valves can be configured to use a 1/8" Swagelok fitting.  The 1/8" Swagelok valve is a special option, specify P/N 1374.
1/4"-28:  outlet valves can be configured to use a 1/4"-28 tube nut for use with 1/8" tubing.  The 1/4"-28 valve is a special option, specify P/N 1370.
