KNF Replacement parts?

Dariusrussell - 24-10-2013 at 14:21

I got a used KNF (Diaphragm) vacuum pump and as expected it is quite worn out, it pulls about 25inHg as opposed to 28inHg new.
I overlooked the fact of where I would get replacement parts for the pump and now I can't seem to find some anywhere.
The model is Chemglass KNF UN726FTP, and it is identical except for color to this one Here

Would anyone know a place to get replacement parts that would sell to indivs?

Should anybody need any KNF spare parts, i'm gonna make a really big order with them soon, so let me know! Will ship anywhere! U2U me for a quote.

You not being able to find any replacement parts is due to the fact that they are no longer sold.

I have business relations with KNF and found out about this 5 years ago, so i quickly got rid of all the 726's i still had.

Looks like you need a new pump - i have a few KNF models in stock, just let me know what you're looking for, size- and material-wise.
