Finish Thompson A101521 Static Protection Grounded Hose Kit
The A101521 is the static protection grounded hose kit used in Finish Thompson PFS, SFS, TBS and TTS drum pumps. It is a four foot grounded discharge hose with a threaded one inch MNPT connection, supplied with a ground wire and clamps so that static cannot build while flammable fluid is moving. It is built in cross-linked polyethylene with brass fittings, which is what decides where it can safely be used.
Treat it as a service item rather than a permanent fitting. Kits are replaced when the hose has hardened or cracked, or when the ground wire or its clamps are damaged, since a broken ground path defeats the whole purpose of the assembly. 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: What causes most premature failures on this part?
Running the pump outside what it was specified for, whether that is temperature, viscosity, dry running or an incompatible chemical.
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.
