Real Specifications
| AC Series max temp | Max temperature 300°F (149°C) — the highest of any Finish Thompson series in this dataset | finish-thompson-sealed-pumps.md |
| AC Series flow/head | Max head 263 ft (80.2 m), max flow 321 gpm (73.0 m³/h) [AC8] | finish-thompson-sealed-pumps.md |
| GP Series suction pressure by seal type | Bellows seal max suction pressure 15 psi (1 bar); multi-spring seal 65 psi (4.5 bar) | finish-thompson-sealed-pumps.md |
| GP Series construction | Molded housings of chemical-resistant polypropylene or PVDF; effectively handles caustics, acids, plating solutions | finish-thompson-sealed-pumps.md |
GP Series' suction pressure envelope depends entirely on which seal type is fitted — bellows seal tops out at 15 psi while multi-spring reaches 65 psi; specifying the wrong seal type for the actual inlet pressure is a real, documented mis-spec risk within the same GP model line.
The exact same GP Series pump body handles plating solutions at either 15 psi or 65 psi max suction depending purely on seal type — a spec sheet that just says 'GP22' without naming the seal isn't a complete spec.
