PIUSI 2″ NPT DRUM CONNECTOR WITH VALVE Part F17191000

Description

Piusi 2″ NPT Drum Connector with Internal Check Valve

Part is original to Piusi.

Product Code: F17191000

The Piusi F17191000 is a premium, industrial-grade tank mounting solution designed to secure fuel transfer pumps to 55-gallon drums and storage tanks while maintaining a constant prime. Unlike standard open-bore adapters, this connector features an integrated internal check valve, making it a critical component for high-efficiency, “on-demand” fueling systems.

By keeping the suction line full of fuel even when the pump is turned off, the F17191000 eliminates the “dry-start” delay, protects your pump’s internal vanes from friction damage, and ensures immediate fuel delivery the moment you pull the nozzle trigger.

Key Features & Benefits

• Integrated One-Way Check Valve: The high-quality internal valve allows fuel to flow toward the pump but prevents it from draining back into the tank. This keeps the entire suction assembly primed, reducing “startup lag” and extending the life of your motor.
• Universal 2″ NPT Tank Thread: Precision-machined with standard 2″ National Pipe Taper (NPT) threads, ensuring a rock-solid, vapor-tight fit into the large bung opening of steel and plastic fuel drums or skid tanks.
• 1″ NPT Internal Suction Port: The top/internal section is threaded for a 1″ NPT connection, allowing for the direct integration of Piusi telescopic down tubes (F17923000) or rigid suction pipes.
• Heavy-Duty Metallic Construction: Manufactured from high-strength, spark-resistant alloy. Unlike plastic alternatives, this metallic connector can support the weight and torque of professional electric pumps like the Piusi Panther, Cube, or EX50.
• Vapor-Tight Environmental Seal: The tapered thread design creates a wedging action that prevents hazardous fuel odors from escaping and protects your fuel supply from moisture and dust ingress.
• Genuine Piusi Engineering: As an authentic Piusi Accessory, the F17191000 ensures exact alignment with Piusi suction hardware, providing a professional-grade foundation for your fuel dispensing station.

Technical Specifications

In professional fuel management, “loss of prime” is a frequent cause of pump failure. When a pump has to “chase” fuel up a long suction pipe every time it starts, it runs hot and dry, leading to premature vane wear. The Piusi F17191000 solves this problem at the source. It is the industrial choice for fleet managers who prioritize equipment longevity and fast, reliable refueling cycles.
