The port size and the clamped construction stay the same. Here is what changes when a P8 is replaced with an XPS8, based on the Buna-N builds 08-0111 and 08-14497.
Flow goes up, from 165 to 185 gpm (625 to 700 L/min) maximum
Dry suction lift goes up a little, from 22.7 to 23.8 ft (6.9 to 7.3 m)
The air inlet gets bigger, 3/4 inch instead of 1/2 inch. Check your air hose and fittings
The air side changes to aluminum
The pump gets heavier, about 78 lb (35 kg) against 67 lb (30 kg)
The rated temperature range moves to 10 to 180 °F (-12 to 82 °C) on this build
On air consumption, Wilden’s example for the XPS8 is 87 gpm (329 L/min) against 2.1 bar (30 psig), using about 75 Nm³/h (44 scfm) at 4.1 bar (60 psig). The P8 example is at a different duty, so the two numbers can’t be compared directly. Give us your duty point and we will compare them properly.
A small note on the list: of the 31 aluminum XPS8 builds, 08-16230 has no description on PSG yet. It is still a 2 inch XPS8 and we can confirm its materials if you need it.
