Most MP Pumps wet-end parts install with standard hand tools. Always relieve system pressure and disconnect power before servicing a pump.
Q: Can I use this part on a different MP Pumps model?
Wet-end parts are sized to a specific pump model and configuration. Confirm against your pump nameplate before ordering, or send us a picture and we will verify.
