The A and B Recirc to Pump Desiccant Assembly (SKU 236703) is a complete moisture-control and pressure-management solution for spray foam and chemical transfer pump systems. This setup mounts directly into a 3/4-inch drum bung hole and replaces traditional open-air vents with a safe, sealed, and regulated system.
This assembly recirculates back to the pump—not the drum—and includes integrated check valves on both sides for backflow protection and pressure relief. The A-side provides moisture control with a desiccant port, and the B-side manages system pressure through a check-valved return path.

Complete A & B-Side Functionality of the Recirc to Pump Desiccant Assembly
This assembly includes both sides needed for moisture control and pressure regulation:
- A-Side Assembly – SKU 236618
Designed for moisture control, the A-side features a desiccant cartridge port (cartridge sold separately). Spray foam isocyanate reacts negatively with moisture, so this setup protects chemicals from humidity and prevents contamination. Includes Y-strainer, stainless fittings, check valve, flexible coupling, and camlock connectors. - B-Side Assembly – SKU 236615
Functions as the pressure relief and controlled air intake side. The check valve prevents backflow while allowing the drum to breathe under pump demand. Includes stainless fittings, Y-strainer, pipe nipples, aluminum camlocks, and PTFE sealing tape.

FAQs
Does this assembly work with all drums?
It fits chemical drums with a 3/4″ bung hole on the lid.
Does it recirculate to the drum or the pump?
This model recirculates back to the pump, not the drum.
Does the A-side include the desiccant cartridge?
No. The desiccant cartridge (SKU 157386) is sold separately.
Why does spray foam need moisture control?
Isocyanate reacts with moisture. A desiccant prevents curing, crystallization, and chemical contamination.
What does the B-side do?
It provides pressure relief and controlled air intake, preventing vacuum lock during pumping.
