Finish Thompson M100005-3 40 Inch Intake Tube
Finish Thompson supplies the M100005-3 as the 40 inch intake tube for PFM and PFP drum pumps in the 40 inch length. It is the outer body of the pump, carrying the fluid from the impeller at the bottom up to the discharge. It is built in polypropylene, which is what decides where it can safely be used.
Most pumps see this part replaced well before the pump itself needs attention. Tubes are replaced when they are cracked, crazed or softened by a chemical they were not specified for, and a cracked tube loses prime and drips down the outside of the drum. Confirm the material and size against your pump before ordering, as the same position is offered in several variants across this range.

Frequently Asked Questions
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.
Q: Should anything else be replaced at the same time?
Whatever the teardown exposes. Elastomers and bushings are inexpensive and are best renewed while the pump is already apart.
