Busch Seco, Felt Washer Part# 488000160 – vacstellar

Description

Using the Busch part (488000160) is crucial. It is manufactured to the exact thickness, density, and material specification required for your SECO pump. An incorrect substitute might not hold oil properly, could be too thick or thin, or might break down quickly under heat and pressure.

Replacing this felt washer is a standard part of routine pump maintenance or overhaul. Over time, the felt can become compacted, clogged with debris, or simply lose its ability to hold and wick oil effectively. A fresh washer ensures proper lubrication and sealing are maintained.

Think of it as a simple, affordable way to protect the larger, more expensive components in your pump. Keeping this small part in good condition contributes directly to the pump’s efficiency, longevity, and reliable operation.
