Product Overview

The Speck Bronze Drain Plug Sealing Ring is an essential sealing component designed specifically for Speck pumps. This precision-engineered ring creates a watertight seal for the drain plug on your Speck pump housing, preventing water leakage during normal operation while allowing for proper drainage during maintenance.
