Tuthill Corp 1200KTG9099 Telescoping Steel Suction Pipe

Product Description

The TUTHILL CORP 1200KTG9099 is a telescoping steel suction pipe designed for fuel transfer applications. It extends from 20 inches to 35 inches, allowing the installer to reach the bottom of fuel tanks and drums of varying depths. The pipe features a 1-inch diameter and threads directly into the bottom inlet of compatible fuel transfer pumps. Licensed fuel transfer technicians and service professionals install this component as part of a complete pump assembly. The adjustable length eliminates the need for multiple fixed-length pipes on the job, making it a practical choice for field service work across a range of drum and tank sizes.

This suction pipe is used in fuel transfer setups where a pump is mounted above a fuel tank or drum and the suction pipe must extend downward to draw liquid from the bottom of the container. It is suited for use with petroleum-based fuels in both portable and stationary transfer pump configurations. The telescoping design accommodates standard 55-gallon drums as well as larger tanks where insertion depth varies. It is sold as a single unit and is intended as a replacement or spare component for existing pump assemblies.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified technician familiar with fuel transfer equipment and applicable local safety codes. Before servicing or replacing the suction pipe, ensure the pump is fully de-energized and any fuel supply valves are closed to prevent accidental discharge. Thread the pipe into the bottom pump inlet by hand first, then tighten with appropriate tools to ensure a secure, leak-free fit. Confirm the pipe reaches the bottom of the tank or drum and that the telescoping lock is secured before returning the pump to service.
