PIUSI TELESCOPIC DOWN TUBE 1″NPT 37″ Part F17923000

Description

Piusi Telescopic Down Tube 1″ NPT (37″)

Part is original to Piusi.

Product Code: F17923000

The Piusi F17923000 is a professional-grade, adjustable suction pipe designed to provide a universal fit for various fuel storage containers. With a maximum extension of 37 inches and a standard 1″ NPT threaded connection, this telescopic down tube is the ideal intake solution for drum-mounted or tank-top fueling systems.

Engineered for durability and ease of installation, this suction pipe eliminates the need for custom-cutting rigid PVC or steel pipes. It allows the operator to quickly adapt a single pump to fit anything from a standard 55-gallon drum to intermediate bulk containers (IBCs) and small skid tanks.

Key Features & Benefits

• Adjustable Telescopic Design: The two-piece sliding construction allows the tube to expand and contract, reaching depths up to 37 inches. This ensures the intake remains at the bottom of the tank to maximize fuel recovery without sucking up floor sediment.
• Standard 1″ NPT Threads: Features a precision-machined 1″ Male NPT top connection. This is the industrial standard for most Piusi Panther, EX50, and Cube series pumps, as well as many manual hand pumps.
• High-Flow 1″ Bore: The wide internal diameter is designed to minimize suction restriction. This prevents pump cavitation and ensures your dispensing system maintains its maximum rated GPM (Gallons Per Minute).
• Fuel-Resistant Construction: Manufactured from high-quality materials (typically reinforced technopolymer or treated steel) that are 100% compatible with Diesel, Gasoline, Kerosene, and Light Oils. It will not degrade, “soften,” or contaminate your fuel supply.
• Integrated Foot Strainer Compatibility: The bottom of the tube is designed to accept standard foot valves or strainers, providing an extra layer of protection for your pump’s internal vanes and meters.
• Airtight Slip-Joint Seal: Features a specialized internal seal between the telescopic sections to prevent air ingress. This maintains the vacuum integrity required for self-priming pumps to function correctly.

Technical Specifications

In mobile refueling and workshop environments, tank depths can vary significantly. A suction pipe that is too short leaves “dead” fuel at the bottom of the tank, while one that is too long can’t be installed at all. The Piusi F17923000 provides the ultimate flexibility, allowing you to move your pump between different tanks in seconds. Its rigid construction is vastly superior to flexible suction hoses, which can curl or collapse under high vacuum.
