Maintenance free, Long lasting ideal for potable water supply
Hand pumps are manually operated pumps which are operated by muscle power and mechanical advantage to move fluids or air from one location to another. These pumps are widely used in every country in the world for a variety of industrial, marine, irrigation and leisure activities. There are many different types of hand pump available, mainly operating on a piston, diaphragm or rotary vane principle with a check valve on the entry and exit ports to the chamber operating in opposing directions. Most hand pumps have plungers or reciprocating pistons, and are positive displacement.

A: An Oriplast Direct Action Hand Pump is a manually operated, positive displacement water pump designed to draw clean groundwater from wells and boreholes without requiring fuel or electricity.
A: When the handle is operated, it moves an internal piston and rod assembly inside a cylinder. This motion creates a vacuum, drawing water up through a foot valve and riser main to exit through the spout.
A: Key components include the pump handle, pump rod, rising main, foot valve, check valve, and a cylinder fitted with a reciprocating piston.
A: Oriplast offers direct action hand pumps in heavy-duty galvanized steel, durable alloys, and plastic/rubber configurations designed for corrosion resistance.
A: Yes, the pump features a smooth internal bore that discourages bacterial growth, ensuring safe and hygienic drinking water delivery.
A: They rely purely on human muscle power, feature a extremely sturdy build, and require no electrical connection or fossil fuel, making them reliable in off-grid locations.
A: Positioned at the bottom of the cylinder, the foot valve allows water to enter when the piston lifts and prevents water from flowing back down into the well.
A: No, the foot valve retains water within the cylinder and rising pipe assembly, enabling instant water flow without manual priming.
A: They are suitable for lifting water from shallow wells and boreholes, typically operating up to depths of around 15 meters depending on the model.
A: They are virtually maintenance-free. Upkeep simply requires keeping the system clean and applying food-grade lubricant to the pump rod.
A: Built using galvanized steel, high-grade polymers, and rust-resistant coatings, the components resist exposure to water and weather elements.
A: They are used across rural residential areas, agricultural lands, community drinking stations, industrial sites, and emergency water supply setups.
A: The pump base is secured to a flat, stable surface or concrete pad using mounting bolts, ensuring the riser pipe and pump rod are properly aligned.
A: A positive displacement piston mechanism delivers a consistent volume of water with each stroke, maximizing pumping efficiency and mechanical advantage.
A: Oriplast products are manufactured by an ISO-certified facility committed to high quality, long service life, and reliable performance.
