Overview

New revolutionary LRT oil drain, patent pending feature is designed to drain oil, caused by a leaking Garlock Seal, before it reaches the drive coupler. Provides a tell tale leak path. Closed front ends, designed to eliminate oil and oil residues from entering into the pump. Helps prevent pump failures caused by oil entering into the drive mechanism or rotor and vanes. Wear indicator port, internal visual observation port to determine vane wear. Each pump is meticulously and professionally hand assembled to insure proper tolerances and clearances. This assures optimum performance.

After assembly, each pump is functionally tested. After this initial testing, the pump is then disassembled, inspected for any unusual wear or abnormalities, and reassembled for a second test run. This extensive testing procedure assures that only first-class products leave their facility. 3 year, 1300 hour warranty. OEM Manufactured.

Used this pump to replace a Sigmatek pump that failed after only 250 hours. I like that the Tempest pump has a longer warranty, and a port where I can check vane wear.

Old pump failed and was able to swap it out with this new one in 45 minutes...if it wasnt for the one hard to reach bolt, would only take 10 minutes! Has performed as expected since install. My last vacuum pump lasted for 26 years and 1700 hours! Hopefully this one is the last one I will ever buy!

Please note, Aircraft Spruce's personnel are not certified aircraft mechanics and can only provide general support and ideas, which should not be relied upon or implemented in lieu of consulting an A&P or other qualified technician. Aircraft Spruce assumes no responsibility or liability for any issue or problem which may arise from any repair, modification or other work done from this knowledge base. Any product eligibility information provided here is based on general application guides and we recommend always referring to your specific aircraft parts manual, the parts manufacturer or consulting with a qualified mechanic.

Q: Is the Tempest Tornado 3000 Vacuum Pump, AA3215CC, a direct replacement for the Airborne 211CC pumps?

Yes, the AA3215CC is a 215CC pump which is a direct replacement for the 211CC pumps. The same is true for the AA3216CW. It is a 216CW pump which replaces the old style 212CW pumps. Lastly, the AA3215CC-9 is the same application as other manufacturer's 215CC-9 pumps.

Q: Are the Tempest 3000 Tornado Dry Air Vacuum Pumps TSO / PMA approved for certified aircraft?

Yes, these units are FAA approved.

Q: Does Tempest Tornado Dry Air vacuum pump part number 10-00609 come with the Garlock Seal?

No, that seal is part of the engine and not part of the pump.

Q: So does the new Tempest Tornado Dry Air vacuum pump part number 10-00609 come with a special gasket (that is a direct replacement for the Garlock Seal)?

This product does not come with a replacement garlock seal as this is an internal engine piece.

Q: Does Tempest Tornado Dry Air vacuum pump part number 10-00609 come with a gasket, or must the gasket be ordered separately?

The gasket will come with this pump.

Q: What is the diameter of the Tempest Tornado Dry Air pump AA3215CC?

The diameter is approximately 3-5/16" at it's widest point.

Q: What is the difference between a Tempest 3000 Tornado pump AA3215CC and a AA3215CC-9?

211CC/215CC has a traditional mount location. 211CC-9/215CC dry air pump was designed to mount vertically on the accessory pad at the bottom of a Continental O-200 engine. This location is susceptible to oil contamination which can ruin a dry air pump. The 211CC-9 pump is an attempt to deal with the contamination issue by using a slinger ring on the drive shaft of the pump to throw off any oil that might happen to drip down from the engine onto the shaft.

Q: Is the TEMPEST AA3216CW a direct replacement for the RAPCO RA216CW?

Yes, that is correct.

Q: What is the weight of Tempest AA3215CC/AA3216CW pumps?

Approx 1.94 lbs.

Q: What is the dimensions of Tempest AA3215CC/AA3216CW pumps?

3-1/2" diameter | 4-1/2" long to the mounting plate |5-1/2" long to the end of the shaft.
