How The Viton Seal Version Compares To The EPDM Seal Version
Farmers and contractors choosing a 2" Honda GX160 transfer pump usually face this question: should I get the standard EPDM seal version, or this Viton seal version for broader chemical compatibility?
Here's the honest comparison:
| Feature | Banjo Transfer Pump, 2 In., EPDM Seal, Honda GX160 ($810) | Banjo Transfer Pump, 2 In., Viton Seal, Honda GX160 ($899) |
|---|---|---|
| Mechanical Seal | EPDM seal | Viton seal, broader chemical compatibility |
| Chemical Compatibility | Suitable for water and many agricultural chemicals | Suitable for corrosive and non-corrosive liquids, including fuels, oils, and harsher chemicals EPDM can't handle |
| Engine | Honda GX160, 163cc | Honda GX160, 163cc |
| Flow Rate | Up to 190-200 GPM | Up to 190-195 GPM |
| Housing Material | High-strength polypropylene, corrosion-resistant | Corrosion-resistant polypropylene housing |
| Impeller | High-strength polypropylene/5-vane impeller | Strong 5-vane nylon impeller |
| Drive Shaft Protection | Standard | Heavy-duty slinger seal on the drive shaft |
| Hardware | Standard | Stainless steel hardware, resists rust and corrosion |
| Total Head Lift | Standard | Up to 120 ft. |
| Best Suited For | Standard water and agricultural chemical transfer | Applications involving fuels, oils, or chemicals incompatible with EPDM |
Why The Banjo Viton Seal Transfer Pump Is Worth The Investment
This isn't just a transfer pump, it's built with a Viton mechanical seal instead of standard EPDM, giving farmers and contractors the ability to transfer fuels, oils, and harsher chemicals that would degrade an EPDM seal over time, all backed by a heavy-duty slinger seal on the drive shaft for added protection.
The 215PH-5-160.BAN specifically addresses the needs of farmers and contractors who need to transfer liquids beyond standard water and agricultural chemicals, particularly fuels, oils, and other substances that require Viton's broader chemical resistance.
Built To Handle What EPDM Can't. While EPDM seals work well for water and many agricultural chemicals, they aren't suited for fuels, oils, and certain harsher chemicals. This pump's Viton seal extends compatibility to a wider range of liquids, making it the right choice when the material being transferred falls outside EPDM's compatibility range.
Built For High-Volume, Chemically Demanding Transfer
The Honda GX160 engine moves liquids efficiently and fast at flow rates up to 190-195 GPM
The heavy-duty slinger seal on the drive shaft adds an extra layer of protection during operation
The strong 5-vane nylon impeller provides durability for demanding, high-volume transfer jobs
Engineered For Broad Chemical Compatibility And Durability
The Viton mechanical seal handles a wider range of corrosive and non-corrosive liquids than standard EPDM
Stainless steel hardware resists rust and corrosion for improved long-term durability
Large drain and primer plug thumb screws simplify maintenance without requiring tools
Real Savings
Viton seal compatibility avoids the cost of premature seal failure when transferring fuels, oils, or incompatible chemicals
Corrosion-resistant polypropylene construction reduces the risk of costly pump damage from chemical exposure
The backed engine and pump warranty reduce the risk of unexpected repair costs
Free shipping and no sales tax through Summit Forge Supply keeps the total cost down compared to buying elsewhere and paying tax and freight separately
The Bottom Line Farmers and contractors who need to transfer fuels, oils, or chemicals outside the compatibility range of a standard EPDM seal can't rely on the standard version of this pump. The Banjo Transfer Pump with Viton Seal is built with broader chemical compatibility, a heavy-duty drive shaft slinger seal, and a reliable Honda GX160 engine, so it handles a wider range of liquids without premature seal failure. For anyone transferring fuels, oils, or harsh chemicals as a regular part of the work, this is the pump built with the right seal for the job.
