PULSAtron K3PTC1 KOPkit Pump Head Repair Kit
PULSAtron K3PTC1 KOPkit for size 3 PTC1 wet ends with GFPPL head, PTFE/TFE seals, ceramic valve balls, diaphragm and 3/8-inch OD tubing.
The PULSAtron K3PTC1 is a KOPkit pump head repair and liquid-end maintenance kit for compatible PULSAtron chemical metering pumps equipped with a size 3 PTC1 wet end.
The kit combines the principal liquid-end components commonly required during preventive pump maintenance. The K3PTC1 configuration features a GFPPL (glass-filled polypropylene) head and fittings, TFE/PTFE seats and O-rings, ceramic valve balls and a PTFE-faced CSPE-backed diaphragm.

Designed for PTC1 Wet Ends
The K3PTC1 is specifically configured for size 3 PULSAtron pumps using the PTC1 liquid end. Selecting the correct wet-end code is important because PULSAtron pumps are available with different head materials, valve seats, valve balls and connection arrangements.
The K3PTC1 groups components matched to the PTC1 configuration under a single maintenance-kit part number.
GFPPL, PTFE & Ceramic Construction
The pump head and suction/discharge valve cartridge assemblies use GFPPL construction. The valve configuration incorporates TFE/PTFE seats and O-rings together with ceramic valve balls.
This combination is used for compatible chemical metering applications. Chemical compatibility should always be confirmed for the specific fluid, concentration, temperature and operating conditions.
PTFE-Faced Diaphragm
The K3PTC1 includes a PTFE-faced, CSPE-backed diaphragm. The diaphragm is the primary pumping element that moves back and forth during operation to create the suction and discharge strokes.
Because the diaphragm repeatedly flexes during pump operation, periodic inspection and replacement are important parts of preventive metering pump maintenance.
What the KOPkit Provides
PULSAtron KOPkits are designed to simplify preventive maintenance by packaging commonly serviced liquid-end components together. A typical K3PTC1 kit includes:
- Pump head assembly
- Suction valve cartridge assembly
- Discharge valve cartridge assembly
- PTFE-faced CSPE-backed diaphragm
- Pump head screws
- Washers
- Deflection plate
- Shims
- Secondary seal
- Associated sealing components
Connection Details
The K3PTC1 is designed for 3/8-inch OD tubing. Detailed parts listings describe the tubing as approximately 0.25-inch ID x 0.38-inch OD.
The existing pump connection should be checked before installation because other PULSAtron wet-end configurations may use different tubing dimensions or connection styles.
Documented Pump Compatibility
Current replacement-parts documentation identifies the K3PTC1 for several PULSAtron PTC1 pump configurations, including:
- LB03SA-PTC1-G19
- LC03SA-PTC1-G19
- LMB3TA-PTC1-G19
- LPB3SA-PTC1-G19
The LB03SA-PTC1 and LC03SA-PTC1 pump families are also documented with K3PTC1 as their required KOPkit. Always verify the complete pump model before ordering replacement parts.
Preventive Maintenance Benefits
- Matched to size 3 PTC1 liquid ends
- Combines commonly serviced wet-end parts
- Helps reduce maintenance downtime
- Supports proper suction and discharge valve operation
- Helps restore reliable pump priming
- Supports consistent chemical metering
Selection & Maintenance Note
Before installing the K3PTC1, confirm that the pump uses a size 3 PTC1 wet end and a 3/8-inch OD tubing connection. Inspect the pump head, diaphragm, valve cartridges and sealing components during routine maintenance.
