Finish Thompson A101014-1 Polypropylene Housing Assembly with Ceramic Thrust Ring
The A101014-1 is the polypropylene housing assembly with ceramic thrust ring used in Finish Thompson KC11 magnetic drive pumps with NPT connections. It is the pumping chamber itself, with NPT suction and discharge connections and the ceramic thrust ring the impeller bears against. It is built in polypropylene, which is what decides where it can safely be used.
Treat it as a service item rather than a permanent fitting. A housing is renewed when the bore has been worn oval by an off center impeller, when the thrust face is grooved, or when the threads at the ports are damaged. When ordering, match the part to the pump as it was actually built rather than to the catalog model alone, since material and size options were specified at the time of purchase.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Does fitting this affect the pump warranty?
Using the factory part keeps the pump to its original specification, which is what any warranty position depends on.
Q: How should the pump be flushed before service?
With a fluid known to be compatible, so the parts can be handled safely and the old chemical is not carried into the rebuild.
Q: Can the pump be run briefly without this part?
No. Every component in the wet end carries a load or seals a joint, and running incomplete risks far costlier damage.
Q: Is this the genuine manufacturer part?
Yes. It is the factory component built to the original specification rather than a pattern copy.
