Frequently asked questions
Common questions about EVERFLO from 3G Electric.
What is the difference between the EVERFLO EF3000-BOX and the EF3000-QA-BOX?
The EF3000-BOX and EF3000-QA-BOX share the same basic configuration: a 12V DC on-demand electric sprayer pump with a polypropylene housing and an integrated demand pressure switch. The difference is the seal material. The EF3000-BOX uses standard seals, while the EF3000-QA-BOX uses Viton seals. Viton is specified when the pumped liquid contains solvents, oils, or other chemicals that would degrade standard elastomers. Both models are supplied in a boxed configuration. When selecting between them, confirm the chemical compatibility of the liquid with the seal material. The housing material is polypropylene for both models.
What does the demand pressure switch do on an EVERFLO sprayer pump?
The demand pressure switch is an integrated control that starts and stops the pump based on system pressure. When a nozzle, valve, or outlet is opened, pressure in the line drops, the switch closes the circuit, and the pump runs. When the outlet is closed, pressure rises to the switch set point, the circuit opens, and the pump stops. This provides automatic on-demand operation without a manual switch. It also allows the pump to maintain pressure in a closed line. The switch is not an external accessory; it is built into the pump. For systems with very low or intermittent flow, an accumulator or bypass may be needed to prevent rapid cycling.
Which EVERFLO models are available with Viton seals?
In the current 3G Electric catalog, the EVERFLO models with Viton seals are the EF2200-QA-BOX, EF3000-QA-BOX, and EF7000-QA-BOX. The -QA suffix indicates Viton seal construction. These models also have a polypropylene housing and a demand pressure switch, and they operate at 12V DC. The non-QA versions of the same model families, such as the EF2200-BOX, EF3000-BOX, and EF7000-BOX, use standard seals. Viton is a fluoroelastomer with resistance to many solvents, oils, and fuels, so the QA models are selected when the pumped liquid is not compatible with standard seal materials. Always verify chemical compatibility for the specific liquid and concentration.
What voltage do EVERFLO on-demand electric sprayer pumps require?
All EVERFLO on-demand electric sprayer pumps listed in the 3G Electric catalog operate at 12V DC. This includes the EF1000-BOX, EF2200-BOX, EF2200-QA-BOX, EF3000-BOX, EF3000-QA-BOX, EF5500-BOX, EF7000-BOX, and EF7000-QA-BOX. The 12V DC input is compatible with battery-powered sprayers, vehicle electrical systems, and low-voltage DC power supplies. When installing, use wiring and fusing appropriate for the pump current draw and the length of the run. The demand pressure switch controls the motor circuit, so the power supply should be connected according to the pump's wiring diagram. Confirm that the power source can supply the required current at 12V DC under load.
What housing material is used on EVERFLO sprayer pumps?
The EVERFLO on-demand electric sprayer pumps in the 3G Electric catalog use a polypropylene housing. Polypropylene is a thermoplastic with resistance to many agricultural chemicals, mild acids, and water-based solutions. It is a common material for sprayer pump housings because it balances chemical resistance with structural durability. The housing material is listed in the specifications for each SKU. When specifying a pump, confirm that the housing material is compatible with the liquid being pumped. Polypropylene is not suitable for all chemicals, particularly strong oxidizing agents or certain solvents. The seal material, such as Viton on the -QA models, is a separate consideration and should also be checked for compatibility.
How does 3G Electric support the EVERFLO product line?
3G Electric supplies EVERFLO on-demand electric sprayer pumps as part of its industrial equipment catalog. The catalog includes multiple SKUs across the EF1000, EF2200, EF3000, EF5500, and EF7000 families, with standard and Viton seal options. Each listing provides the manufacturer part number, voltage, housing material, and seal material where applicable. Buyers can compare specifications across models and request a quote for the required configuration. 3G Electric provides logistics support for global delivery. The company does not manufacture EVERFLO pumps; it distributes them. For technical selection, provide the liquid to be pumped, required flow and pressure, duty cycle, and available power supply so the correct model can be identified.
