I am going to use a Gear pump on a prodject. Its return side and presser side have 1/2npt. What size line should i use on the return side 3/4 ? My tank has 1/2npt. Would it work better if the tank had a biger bung ? Tank is a round 4 feet from pump.
Reply:This depends on the capacity of th pump, but I think if th pump has 1/2" fittings 1/2" hose should work.Miller 180SDLincoln weld pak 180Hobart 250ciMill Lathe
Reply:Pumps have suction side and pressure side. Are you referring to the suction? If so, upsize it if possible. Also flooded suction is best.Millermatic 200Hobart Handler 120Victor O/A & Ramco BandsawLincoln 225 ACSnapOn AD HoodMiller XMT304/22AHypertherm Powermax 1650 G3Lincoln Idealarc DC600 w/Extreme 12 VSMiller Digital Elite "Joker"
Reply:1/2 would be good for most applications althouth 3/4 would give more oil capacity and improved cooling. Flow is ultimately restricted by fitting sizeMillermatic 252millermatic 175miller 300 Thunderboltlincoln ranger 250smith torcheslots of bfh'sIf it dont fit get a bigger hammer |
