The bulb is molded from Fluoroelastomer (FKM), a material chosen for its traditional look and feel while standing up to continuous exposure to gasoline and ethanol-blended fuels. Inside, it uses double check valves with Viton balls and stainless steel springs to control one-way fuel flow as the bulb is squeezed, helping push fuel from the tank to the engine and purge air from the line.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOverall length is 7 1\/2 inches (190.5 mm) including the barbed fittings on each end, and the inside diameter of the barbs is sized for 1\/4 inch (6.4 mm) fuel hose. The bulb is finished in white and is molded in house, meeting current EPA regulations in effect as of January 1, 2011 for a permeation rate of 15 g\/m2\/24 hrs, and is both EPA and CARB certified for use in emissions-regulated fuel systems. It is available in standard packs of 12 for shops and installers who need multiple units on hand. This primer bulb is a straightforward replacement part for boaters whose existing 1\/4 inch primer bulb has cracked, hardened, or lost its check-valve seal.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand:\u003c\/strong\u003e Sierra\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number:\u003c\/strong\u003e 18-8002EP-1\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eProduct Type:\u003c\/strong\u003e Fuel Primer Bulb\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHose\/Barb Size:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1\/4 inch (6.4 mm) inside diameter\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOverall Length:\u003c\/strong\u003e 7 1\/2 inches (190.5 mm) including barbs\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial:\u003c\/strong\u003e Fluoroelastomer (FKM)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eValve Type:\u003c\/strong\u003e Double check valves with Viton balls and stainless steel springs\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eColor:\u003c\/strong\u003e White\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCertification:\u003c\/strong\u003e EPA\/CARB certified; meets EPA regulation in effect 1\/1\/2011 of 15 g\/m2\/24 hrs\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.28 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUPC:\u003c\/strong\u003e 808282289669\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePackaging:\u003c\/strong\u003e Available in standard packs of 12\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat hose size does the Sierra 18-8002EP-1 primer bulb fit?\u003c\/strong\u003e The Sierra 18-8002EP-1 is sized for 1\/4 inch (6.4 mm) fuel hose, matching the inside diameter of its barbed fittings on each end.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow long is the 18-8002EP-1 primer bulb?\u003c\/strong\u003e Overall length is 7 1\/2 inches (190.5 mm) including the barbs on both ends.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat material is the primer bulb made from?\u003c\/strong\u003e It is molded from Fluoroelastomer (FKM), which gives the Sierra 18-8002EP-1 a traditional primer bulb look and feel while resisting fuel exposure.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs the 18-8002EP-1 EPA and CARB certified?\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes, the Sierra 18-8002EP-1 primer bulb is both EPA and CARB certified and meets the EPA regulation in effect 1\/1\/2011 for a permeation rate of 15 g\/m2\/24 hrs.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat kind of check valves does this primer bulb use?\u003c\/strong\u003e Double check valves with Viton balls and stainless steel springs control fuel flow through the 18-8002EP-1 as it is squeezed.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat color is the Sierra 18-8002EP-1 primer bulb?\u003c\/strong\u003e It is white.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow much does the 18-8002EP-1 primer bulb weigh?\u003c\/strong\u003e The Sierra 18-8002EP-1 weighs 0.28 pounds.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCan I buy the 18-8002EP-1 primer bulb in bulk?\u003c\/strong\u003e Standard packs of 12 are available for this primer bulb.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs the 18-8002EP-1 the same as the primer bulbs for 5\/16 inch or 3\/8 inch hose?\u003c\/strong\u003e No, the 18-8002EP-1 is sized for 1\/4 inch hose; Sierra also lists separate part numbers, 18-8004EP-1 for 5\/16 inch hose and 18-8005EP-1 for 3\/8 inch hose, so make sure to order the part number matching your hose size.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs this primer bulb molded in house by Sierra?\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes, the 18-8002EP-1 is molded in house as part of Sierra's line of primer bulbs for the marine aftermarket.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat is the UPC for the Sierra 18-8002EP-1 primer bulb?\u003c\/strong\u003e The UPC is 808282289669.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Sierra","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48988431614171,"sku":"SIE-18-8002EP-1","price":27.81,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0839\/7586\/4539\/files\/SIE-18-8002_lg__72879.1558130896.500.750.jpg?v=1785188158","url":"https:\/\/www.goodvibesmarina.com\/products\/sierra-18-8002ep-1-marine-fuel-primer-bulb-for-1-4-hose-epa-carb-certified-low-permeation","provider":"Good Vibes Marina","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
