Finish Thompson M100018-1 Polypropylene Impeller Housing
This is the factory polypropylene impeller housing for Finish Thompson PF series drum pumps. It encloses the impeller at the bottom of the tube and forms the pumping chamber. It is built in polypropylene, which is what decides where it can safely be used.
It is one of the parts worth renewing on schedule instead of waiting for a fault. A housing is replaced when the internal wall has been worn by an off center impeller or attacked by the pumped chemical, since the clearance around the impeller is what sets the flow. Check the pump build before ordering, because these pumps are offered in more than one material and size combination and the alternatives look similar on the shelf.

Frequently Asked Questions
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.
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.
