5CP6251 Cat Pump

Cat Pumps 5CP6251 Stainless Steel Triplex Plunger Pump (5.0 GPM, 2000 PSI)

For demanding continuous-duty industrial applications such as commercial reverse osmosis, desalination, and the transfer of harsh chemicals, structural integrity and corrosion resistance are paramount. The Cat Pumps 5CP6251 is a heavy-duty, 5-frame positive displacement triplex plunger pump engineered precisely for these rigorous environments. To ensure maximum durability and chemical compatibility, this pump features a specialized "wet end" constructed entirely of 316 stainless steel, encompassing both the manifold and the internal valve assemblies. This premium construction provides the essential longevity required when processing highly corrosive fluids that would quickly degrade standard brass components.

Engineered to maximize overall performance and operational efficiency, this pump utilizes advanced solid ceramic plungers that provide a true, low-friction wear surface, significantly extending the lifespan of the standard NBR (Buna-N) seals and O-rings. The 5CP6251 operates efficiently at a standard pump speed of 1725 RPM, delivering a reliable flow rate of 5.0 gallons per minute (GPM) at a robust applied test pressure of 2000 PSI. Designed with a 0.787-inch (20 mm) solid drive shaft, it offers versatile installation options, easily accommodating direct-drive configurations via a bell housing and flexible coupling, as well as standard belt-and-pulley setups. This allows operators to precisely dial in system flow rates while maintaining the continuous, low-pulsation power required for high-volume industrial fluid processing.
