Description

The Comet 5011.0216.00 is the “Tall” version of the mounting rail kits, specifically engineered for the FW, FWS, FWD and LW, LWS, LWD pump series. While standard rails provide a 1″ lift, this kit provides a significant 2-1/2″ (63.5mm) elevation, making it the essential choice for specific belt-drive or high-clearance configurations.

Kit Specifications

• Part Number: 5011.0216.00

• Style: Tall Mounting Rails

• Height: 2-1/2″ (Standard is 1″)

• Compatibility: * FW Series: (e.g., FWS2, FWD, FW2)

  • LW Series: (e.g., LWS, LWD, LW)

  • HW Series: (e.g., HWS, HWD)

• Material: Heavy-gauge powder-coated steel.

Kit Contents

This kit includes the reinforced hardware needed to support the pump at an increased height:

• 2 Tall Steel Rails: Designed with wide-base feet for stability.

• Mounting Bolts: High-grade bolts to secure the rails to the crankcase.

• Washers: To ensure a secure, vibration-resistant fit.

Key Features

• Pulley Clearance: The primary reason for using the “Tall” kit is to provide enough room for large-diameter pulleys in belt-drive systems. Standard rails often don’t provide enough clearance between the pulley rim and the mounting surface.

• Easy Maintenance: The 2-1/2″ lift provides ample space to place an oil drain pan or a specialized drain hose directly under the pump, making oil changes much cleaner.

• Improved Airflow: The extra elevation allows for better air circulation around the bottom of the aluminum crankcase, assisting in heat dissipation during long duty cycles.

• Plumbing Flexibility: Provides additional room for bulky inlet plumbing or large bypass hoses that might otherwise be cramped or kinked against the base plate.

When to Use This Kit

• Custom Belt-Drive Skids: When the engine and pump are mounted side-by-side and you are using a 5″ or larger pulley on the pump shaft.

• Tight Stationary Installs: When the pump is mounted on a frame where the oil drain is otherwise inaccessible.

• Replacing Standard Rails: If your current setup has vibration issues or bottom-clearance problems, upgrading to the tall rails can provide a more stable and accessible mounting platform.
