The Multiquip APRD24116 Cast Iron Backplate is a genuine OEM component designed for AP6 and AP8 series water pumps. As a direct Multiquip OEM part, it is manufactured to the same specifications as the original component, ensuring proper sealing and structural integrity within the pump housing. This backplate is confirmed to fit AP6 and AP8 models, making it a straightforward replacement when the original shows wear, cracking, or damage.
Key Features
- Cast Iron Durability: — Solid cast iron construction resists wear, corrosion, and mechanical stress in demanding pump environments.
- Genuine OEM Part: — Sourced directly from Multiquip, this backplate meets the exact material and dimensional specifications of the original production component.
- Direct-Fit Replacement: — Engineered to mount directly to AP6 and AP8 pump housings, aligning correctly with existing bolt patterns and mating surfaces.
- Maintains Pump Integrity: — A properly seated backplate keeps internal pump pressure contained and prevents fluid bypass around the impeller housing.
- Verified Fitment: — Compatible with Multiquip AP6 and AP8 water pumps — cross-reference part number APRD24116 before ordering to confirm your application.
The backplate is a structural rear closure component of the pump volute assembly, forming a sealed chamber around the impeller that allows pressure to build and water to be moved efficiently. It works in conjunction with the pump casing and seal assembly to contain flow and prevent internal recirculation. When the backplate is cracked, warped, or worn at the sealing surfaces, the pump loses prime, output pressure drops, and internal leakage can accelerate wear on the impeller and shaft seal.
