This 2 cylinder pump is designed to be used as a supplemental feed water device for your loco’s boiler.
This model can be used to approximate the appearance of an Elesco feed water pump or New York Air compressor. It also features the highest flow output for its body size. There are no external valve linkages to set the timing on. It’s truly a simple to use and maintain water pump.
A displacement lubricator is not supplied (is available separately) but is required when plumbing this pumpup to a steam line. Operation can be made using compressed air, however, an inline lubrication system is recommended. Allow up to 60 seconds for a cold pump tp start. Normal response time for a pump to begin cycling is 5 to 15 seconds.
