How to assemble a 3-Stage PCP Pump

[@AndreAdvocate]

Thank you for this video because the instructions weren't great that came with it

[@Gaby83]

Thank you mate, I have mine working as it should as per your instructions, now, please explain to us what everything in that kit does? All of those seals and white buds do!? thanks mate!🙂

Useful video

Mine leaks right out the box right behind the test plug. Any suggestions?

[@petermiller1041]

Perfect - so what are all the spares for?

[@riverrat8693]

Ikr, I assume they're for rebuilding it but the stupid ass instructions don't say anything about it. From my very limited experience these hand pumps are just gimics. I've pumped for 30mins total of pumping time with several 5min intervals to let the pump cool down and it's only at 1500psi. There's no way anybody uses these routinely they're a total joke.

@@petermiller1041 there is a brass test plug for ensuring the pump functions. The other parts are for if there is a failure. The manual does not describe disassembly of the pump as it promotes people taking it apart without any reason to do so. If there is a fault take all of those spares to someone who knows what they are doing so you then don't have to pay for spares

I've seen several videos where there is a tube of oil or some type of lubricant included with the parts. Mine does not have that and i was wondering if the pump needs lubrication before initial use and if so, what type can be used. Some people told me that synthetic transmission fluid is appropriate.

[@VectorAirUK]

They typically don't come with any oil however we would say avoid anything not designed for the purpose. Transmission fluid could cause excess wear to the pump. Ideally you would use a rubber safe oil like silicone (don't use anything with a solvent - like WD40)

Hello, I have the same blower, but the air comes out from the top. How can I solve the problem?

[@VectorAirUK]

@@Hi_5i it sounds like one of your internal seals may have gone, it may be time to replace the pump

my regulator says 1000 to 6000 psi i only want to fill my nailgun upto 160psi, the instructions were barely readable and that seems really hi for a pump. is my regulator labeled correctly?

​@@tomblake8885 assuming your not joking and if you are genuinely attempting to use a 300BAR (4,350 PSI) pump to fill a nail gun, you need to stop immediately. This setup is entirely unsuitable and poses a serious safety risk. Nail guns typically require far lower pressures (around 160 PSI, as you mentioned), and using a high-pressure pump designed for airguns could result in catastrophic failure or personal injury. To safely fill your nail gun, you should use a tool/shop compressor specifically designed for such applications. Here’s a suitable example that may meet your needs: Based on your message, if you are genuinely attempting to use a 300BAR (4,350 PSI) pump to fill a nail gun, you need to stop immediately.

@@VectorAirUK Hi thanks for responding, I should have been clearer i think. I bought a cheaper pcp stirrup pump its a hand pump im using which leads me to belive the japanese made regulator is incorrectly labeled as surely you couldnt hand pump upto 6000 psi?

[@tomblake8885]

@@VectorAirUK JUst to add I wonder if you could tell me what your pcp pump regulator says?

[@heklik]

No need t for teplon tape ?

[@VectorAirUK]

@@heklik teflon or PTFE tape can actually do more damage and cause leaks
