Low-Pressure Stub Pump

Description
The major components of the stub pumps in the model 9968
series consists of an air-operated motor and a pump tube. The air
motor connects directly to a double-acting reciprocating pump
tube. These low-pressure stub pumps (5:1 ratio) are designed to
deliver all grades of oil.
Pump Extensions
Extensions that screw directly into the pump’s fluid inlet allow
the pump to accommodate different size drums and tanks.
Extensions are accessory items and are not included with the
pump. See Table 2.
Models 9968 Series Comparison
Model 9968 and 9968-M * include a 2 " NPTF (m) bung
adapter that allows installation directly onto original containers or
bulk tanks. The bung adapter is not included with model 9968-A.

* Model 9968-M contains components (See Table 1)

manufactured with BSPT(P) thread connections that include:
• air motor model 339413-A1
• a fluid outlet adapter in the pump tube’s body

Table 2 Low-Pressure Stub Pump Model 9968 Series Accessories

Performance Curves
A pump’s ability to deliver fluid is based on the pressure (psi/bar) and quantity
(cfm/lpm) of air supplied to the motor and the amount of fluid discharge [back] pressure to be
overcome within the system.

This chart contains curves based on three different air pressures. The curves relate delivery
in gallons (liters) per minute (X axis) to air consumption in cubic feet (liters) per minute
(right Y axis) and to fluid discharge pressure in psi/bar (left Y axis).
