# 449-B    ALL BRASS   OPEN TOP   WINDMILL CYLINDERS

Open top well cylinders are a great labor saver. Once you have installed the cylinder in the well, you can service the leather cups on the plunger assembly, without having to pull all the steel pipe from the well. By removing the stuffing box from the top of the well, the rods can be pulled up and removed from the well, to get the plunger out of the well. After you change the leather cylinder cups, you can re-install the plunger in the bottom of the well, by putting all the rods back together, and lowering them into the well.

#442 ALL-BRASS SLIM-LINE CYLINDERS TO ENTER 2" SCH 40 PIPE

Windmill Catalog Page 61a

The two sizes of #442 All-Brass "Slim-Line" Cylinders are designed for entry into 2" wells. Many driven wells have less than straight shafts, and therefore may possibly hinder placement of a well pumping cylinder for your windmill or hand pump. Also Old Pipe tends to corrode over time and can cause problems putting a cylinder pump down the well. We offer both sizes that will go into 2" Sch 40 pipe, however we recommend that if your shaft is crooked or has a lot of corrosion, that you choose the 1 11/16" cylinder, since the extra 1/8" may be the difference between a successful installation or a hang up.

Animated cylinder shows how a windmill or hand pump can pump water.

 

 Well pumping cylinders are stroke pumps. The cylinder has a plunger that travels up and down in the cylinder area, powered by the hand pump or the windmill. The plunger has leather cups that seal against the sides of the cylinder bore, and prevent the water from leaking back down while lifting. There is a check in the cylinder plunger. Many standard cylinders will have a poppet which drops down against the seat of the plunger to seal off and lift the water on the up stroke. When the plunger is pushed down, the poppet will lift up to allow water to pass through the plunger to the area above the plunger, making it ready to be lifted on the next up stroke.

Open top working barrel cylinders use a ball, instead of the poppet. The ball seals better and allow better flow of the water past the seat when being pushed down. The open top cylinder has a ball in the bottom check also.

Well pumping cylinders of either type use the principal of sucking water into the cylinder through the lower check valve on the up stroke, when the plunger is sealed off and lifting water to the surface. On the down stroke, the bottom check is closed and sealed, preventing water from going out the bottom of the cylinder. The plunger presses against the water trapped above the lower check valve, and causes it to push up through the poppet or ball in the plunger, to get above the top of the plunger assembly, so it is lifted up on the next up stroke.
