Real Specifications
| Spec | Value | Source document |
|---|---|---|
| FT025 conductive option | FT025 offers a Conductive Polypropylene wetted-material option — the only size in the FTI Air line with this option | FTI Air — Non-Metallic AODD Pumps |
| FT025 flow/pressure | Max flow 5.8 gpm (22 lpm), max air pressure 120 psi (8.3 bar) | FTI Air — Non-Metallic AODD Pumps |
| FT-series applications | Vendor's shared application list explicitly includes plating solutions | FTI Air — Non-Metallic AODD Pumps |
| Construction options | Diaphragm materials include Santoprene, PTFE, Neoprene, FKM, EPDM, Buna, Hytrel, Polyurethane depending on size | FTI Air — Non-Metallic AODD Pumps |
FTI Air's conductive-polypropylene option on the FT025 exists specifically to bleed static charge — plating rinse and solvent lines carry the same static-ignition risk profile the vendor's drum-pump flammables warning addresses, and conductive-PP is the material response at the smallest pump size in the line.
A plating line moves both aggressive rinse chemistry and, upstream, solvent-based degreasers — FT025's conductive-polypropylene option is real, size-specific evidence that static-charge control matters in this application even at a 1/4-inch pump, not just on the flammables-warehouse side of the shop.
