This is a genuine Ampco Pumps Backplate for 216 Series pumps, a wetted component of the pump's fluid end that contacts the product being pumped.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is a "wet end" or "fluid end" on a sanitary pump?
It's the pump-side assembly — casing, impeller, backplate, and shaft seal — that contacts the process fluid, as opposed to the motor and drive-side hardware.
Q: Is this a genuine Ampco Pumps part?
Yes, cataloged under Ampco Pumps part number 216D-11316.
Q: Will this fit my Ampco pump?
This part is built for 216 Series pumps. Confirm against your pump's nameplate before ordering, or send us a picture of the pump plate and we'll verify.
Q: Do I need to replace other parts at the same time?
When rebuilding a pump's fluid end, it's common to also replace the mechanical seal, gasket, and O-rings at the same time to avoid a repeat teardown.
