Know before you buy
The HEATKILLER D5-TOP is engineered to improve the hydraulic efficiency of the D5 pump, which leads to better flow rates and reduced turbulence compared to stock pump tops. Its robust construction also provides a more secure mounting foundation for your custom loop.
Yes, the included mounting plate is specifically designed for versatility, allowing for a 90-degree orientation. This makes it much easier to fit the pump into tighter spaces where vertical clearance might be limited.
The unit is built from high-quality Delrin (POM) and polished stainless steel. This combination ensures excellent durability, chemical resistance, and a clean, professional aesthetic for your build.
The HEATKILLER D5-TOP is designed for standard D5 pump series compatibility. If you already own a D5 pump, it should fit the top unit, though this bundle conveniently includes the WCP-D5-VARIO to ensure a perfect, out-of-the-box fit.
