Sandpiper S15 plastic pumps are available in three different case materials; the Polypropylene and PVDF versions have an optional spill containment feature. A total of 13 different materials are available to meet handling requirements. Pumps with Conductive Acetal are durable and impact resistant. They have a good resistance to most chemicals except for strong oxidizers and acids. The maximum operating temperature for Conductive Acetal is 190° F / 88° C.
Pumps using EPDM have a maximum operating temperature of 280° F / 138° C. EPDM offers good chemical and water resistance but less resistance to solvents and oils. Other available materials include Santoprene, Polypropylene, PVDF, Nylon, FKM, and Urethane.
Non-metallic pumps are not UV stable. Excessive exposure to UV rays must be avoided. Sandpiper pumps are produced in accordance to ISO 14001 Environmental Management Systems and ISO 9001 Quality System standards. An optional 8-foot ground strap and kits are available for ATEX compliance. This pump includes a 5-year limited warranty.
