Cup Leather for Pitcher Pump (Model PPL103)
The PPL103 Cup Leather for Pitcher Pump is a replacement sealing component designed to restore proper suction and pumping performance in manual pitcher pumps. This cup leather forms the primary seal inside the pump cylinder, allowing the pump to draw water efficiently with each handle stroke.
Manufactured for durability and flexibility, the PPL103 is engineered to expand slightly when wet, creating a tight seal against the pump wall. This helps prevent loss of suction, improves pumping efficiency, and extends the service life of the pitcher pump without the need for full pump replacement.

Product Description
The PPL103 Cup Leather plays a critical role in the operation of manual pitcher pumps. As the pump handle is actuated, the cup leather seals against the inside of the pump cylinder, creating suction that draws water upward. Over time, original cup leathers can dry out, crack, or lose flexibility, resulting in reduced performance or complete loss of pumping action.
This replacement cup leather is designed to restore proper sealing performance. When properly installed and moistened, the leather conforms to the pump cylinder wall, allowing the pump to regain efficient water movement. It is ideal for routine maintenance, pump restoration projects, and repair of older or frequently used pitcher pumps.
Commonly used in residential, agricultural, and off‑grid water systems, the PPL103 helps keep manual water pumps functioning reliably.
