Abstract:
A check valve of the flapper type structured for use in a self-primer pump is structured for attachment to the pump casing in a manner that facilitates servicing of the check valve, and includes securement means that are positioned external to the casing and a flapper that is located through an opening of the casing in a manner that enables the servicing of the valve without dropping the flapper or the hardware into the interior of the pump.
Abstract:
A safety cover for the fill port of a self-primer pump is structured to improve the seal between the fill port cover and the fill port in the pump casing to thereby control the release of steam from the pump, and includes an improved sealing band between the fill port and fill port cover, an improved fill port cover design and an improved retaining clamp design.

Abstract:
Improvements in the operation and maintenance of non-clogging pumps are provided which increase pump efficiencies through improved impeller design and vacuum assembly design, and which increase seal lubrication efficiencies through improved seal lubricant reservoir system design.
