48R551 - Walter 48R551 Replacement PE Pump Tube (4x6mm)

Technical Overview of the Walter 48R551 Pump Tube

The Walter 48R551 is a specialized replacement component designed for the fluid delivery systems within Walter Surface Technologies equipment. Identified as a "4X6 Pe Tube Pump Detachable," this part is critical for the maintenance of the peristaltic or fluid transfer pumps found in Walter's line of electrochemical weld cleaning and parts washing systems.

Manufactured from high-grade Polyethylene (PE), this tubing is engineered to withstand the aggressive nature of industrial electrolytes and cleaning fluids. Polyethylene is chosen for its inert properties, preventing chemical leaching or degradation that could compromise the purity of the cleaning solution or the integrity of the pump mechanism. The dimensions of 4mm (ID) by 6mm (OD) are calibrated to ensure a tight seal with connecting fittings and proper compression within pump heads, if applicable.

Failure to replace worn tubing can lead to reduced flow rates, leaks, or complete pump failure. The 48R551 is designed as a direct OEM replacement, ensuring that tolerances match the original factory specifications perfectly. This guarantees that the system maintains its intended fluid pressure and delivery consistency, which is vital for processes like electrochemical passivation where electrolyte flow must be constant.

This component is classified as "detachable," facilitating straightforward maintenance procedures. Technicians can swap out the tubing without extensive disassembly of the main unit, minimizing downtime during repair cycles. By using genuine Walter parts, operators ensure the longevity and reliability of their capital equipment.
