How to Maintain Your NRS Barrel Pump

The NRS 5" Barrel Pump is "built to last, get wet, and get used". It's a workhorse that private boaters and outfitters have come to love. With an output of 1.8 gallons of air per stroke, it makes short work of inflating rafts, catarafts and inflatable kayaks (IKs).

The one-way check valve lets it work on all types of valves, including the military-style valve. The rugged, flexible 6.5-foot hose gives you plenty of reach, and the wide base is stable on uneven ground.

The pump is simple to maintain and keep in good working order. In this video, Josh Gile, NRS Repairs, goes over the steps for disassembly, cleaning, lubrication, and changing the pump O-ring.
