Overview
|
New revolutionary LRT oil drain, patent pending feature is designed to drain oil, caused by a leaking Garlock Seal, before it reaches the drive coupler. Provides a tell tale leak path. Closed front ends, designed to eliminate oil and oil residues from entering into the pump. Helps prevent pump failures caused by oil entering into the drive mechanism or rotor and vanes. Wear indicator port, internal visual observation port to determine vane wear. Each pump is meticulously and professionally hand assembled to insure proper tolerances and clearances. This assures optimum performance. After assembly, each pump is functionally tested. After this initial testing, the pump is then disassembled, inspected for any unusual wear or abnormalities, and reassembled for a second test run. This extensive testing procedure assures that only first-class products leave their facility. 3 year, 1300 hour warranty. OEM Manufactured.

Used this pump to replace a Sigmatek pump that failed after only 250 hours. I like that the Tempest pump has a longer warranty, and a port where I can check vane wear.

timely delivery and it works!
Old pump failed and was able to swap it out with this new one in 45 minutes...if it wasnt for the one hard to reach bolt, would only take 10 minutes! Has performed as expected since install. My last vacuum pump lasted for 26 years and 1700 hours! Hopefully this one is the last one I will ever buy!
Thanks for the quick shipping. I got my airplane back in the air in time to finish my Christmas trip.
Product was exactly as described and works beautifully...

Yes, the AA3215CC is a 215CC pump which is a direct replacement for the 211CC pumps. The same is true for the AA3216CW. It is a 216CW pump which replaces the old style 212CW pumps. Lastly, the AA3215CC-9 is the same application as other manufacturer's 215CC-9 pumps.
Yes, these units are FAA approved.
No, that seal is part of the engine and not part of the pump.
This product does not come with a replacement garlock seal as this is an internal engine piece.
The gasket will come with this pump.
The diameter is approximately 3-5/16" at it's widest point.
211CC/215CC has a traditional mount location. 211CC-9/215CC dry air pump was designed to mount vertically on the accessory pad at the bottom of a Continental O-200 engine. This location is susceptible to oil contamination which can ruin a dry air pump. The 211CC-9 pump is an attempt to deal with the contamination issue by using a slinger ring on the drive shaft of the pump to throw off any oil that might happen to drip down from the engine onto the shaft.
Yes, that is correct.
Approx 1.94 lbs.
3-1/2" diameter | 4-1/2" long to the mounting plate |5-1/2" long to the end of the shaft.
