Finish Thompson M3T M3T Drum Pump Motor
Finish Thompson supplies the M3T as a M Series drum and container pump in the motor enclosure. It is the drive unit that mounts on top of a Finish Thompson drum pump tube. The M3T is a variant within the M3 family of electric drum pump motors, and the trailing letter designates the build option it was ordered with.
The point of a pump like this is that nobody has to lift a drum. Motor and tube are a matched system, so the coupling, the mounting and the power rating all have to correspond, and a motor chosen on power alone will not necessarily fit the tube you have.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Is the motor suitable for outdoor use?
That depends on its enclosure rating rather than the motor family, so check the enclosure against where it will be mounted.
Q: Can the motor be repaired rather than replaced?
Bearings, brushes and couplings are serviceable items, while a burned winding normally means a replacement motor.
Q: Does the motor need a filter or lubricator?
Air motors do, and running one on unfiltered or dry air is the fastest way to wear the vanes.
Q: Can this motor be used on any Finish Thompson pump tube?
No. Motor and tube are matched as a system, so the coupling, mounting thread and power rating all have to correspond.
