About This Product
On the up-stroke atmospheric pressure pushes water through the inlet valve into the cylinder; on the down-stroke the plunger forces it out through the outlet valve. Students follow the valves opening and closing through the glass and see how air pressure and the plunger work together. The Force Pump can be supplied on export terms to Latvia, Estonia, Botswana, Iran, Timor-Leste and Honduras.
