Piston Pump

This is a still representation and possibly also a low-resolution image of a fully animated pump.        The basic Piston Pump is very simple having just two valves and one stuffing box.      In this example the reciprocating piston is driven back and forth by a rotating mechanism.      This piston pump uses suction to raise water into the chamber. The lower valve can be placed below water level.   This is a still representation and possibly also a low-resolution image of a fully animated pump.        The piston must be within about 25 feet of the water level, but the water can then be raised quite high.   © Copyright 2000 Maintenance Resources, Inc.
