The Fast-Load pump head is the preferred pump head for use with our
MP-1 and MP-2 Pump Drives. It works
with most flexible tubing with a 1/16 inch wall thickness and an outer diameter of
7/16 inch or less.
The flow rate of each pump head depends upon the speed of the pump drive and the
size of the tubing. Larger tubing gives higher flow rates and faster drive rates
give higher flow rates.
One, 2, or 3 pump heads can be used with each pump drive. No matter how many
pump heads are in use, each piece of pump tubing can be easily replaced in less than 10
seconds without disturbing any of the other pieces of tubing. Special hardware, however, is
required to mount multiple pump heads to a single drive; order part number
146823
to mount 2 heads and part number
146828
to mount 3 heads.

Of course, In a peristaltic pump, the tubing is the only material that is in contact with the working fluid
so you'll need to get some tubing to use in the pump head.
For most applications, silicone is the tubing of choice, it provides the longest life
in a pump head and has reasonably good chemical compatibility. Vinyl tubing is less expensive
but has a much shorter life. If you routinely run the tubing to near it's end of life, then vinyl
would actually be more expensive. Fluoroelastomer tubing lasts longer when pumping hydrocarbon
solvents, but is significantly more expensive than either silicone or vinyl
