Single T-Pad Plunger
Priority pad plungers have spring loaded pads that expand allowing the OD of the plunger to create a positive seal with the ID of the tubing wall. Pad plungers are very durable and are the most commonly used plunger. Priority pad plungers are cast with a special wear indicator that allows for convenient visual inspection making it easy to see if the plunger pad needs replacement.
