does the follower plate come already attached or is that something you gotta put together yourself?

Question by: Ray R on Jun 10, 2025, 4:31 PM

The follower plate and cover are included with the pump as part of the complete assembly. Whether they arrive pre-attached or require basic fitment during setup can vary by shipment, but all three components come together as a unit under part number 8700-A1. Nothing extra to source separately.

trying to keep shop grit out of my grease, what do the cover and that follower plate actually do?

Question by: Ralph F on Dec 31, 2025, 10:55 AM

In day to day use, the cover helps keep contamination out while the follower plate keeps steady pressure on the grease so the pump can deliver it consistently.
