Action Pump 3003 Polypropylene Rotary Drum Pump, PTFE Vane, 6 GPM

This Action Pump 3003 hand-operated rotary lever pump is made of polypropylene with PTFE (polytetrafluoroethylene) vanes for resistance to chemicals, has a flow rate of 8 gallons per minute (gpm), and is suitable for dispensing waxes, detergents, and water-soluble chemicals in a variety of applications. It comes with a 41" suction tube assembly, a 2" bung adapter, and a curved discharge spout. This rotary lever drum pump is suitable for a wide range of industrial and commercial applications.SpecificationsPumpRotary drum pumpMaterialsPolypropylene, PTFE, 304 stainless steel, VitonFlow rate8 gpmDischarge port1"Maximum temperature140 degrees FFor use with15, 30, or 55 gallon drumsWeight4 lb.DimensionsOverall length: 51-1/2"; Suction tube: 41"Pumps use mechanical action to move liquids, gases, or slurries (solids suspended in a liquid or gas). The mechanical action is categorized as either positive displacement (PD) or kinetic. PD pumps capture and release discrete amounts of flow into a chamber and then force it out. Some examples of PD pumps are fuel and oil pumps in cars, pumps in hydraulic systems, and bicycle pumps. Kinetic pumps move liquids, gases, or slurries by transferring energy from the pump's movement to the flow. They use an impeller to draw the flow in, add energy to the flow, and move it through a volute (a spiral funnel through which the flow moves), and into the system. Some examples of kinetic pumps include centrifugal (the most common pump in industrial applications), in-line pumps, sump pumps, and suction pumps. Energy sources for all types of pumps include wind power, manual operation, electricity, and gasoline or diesel fuel.Action Pump manufactures drum and pail pumps and grease, oil, and lubrication products. The company, founded in 1981, is headquartered in Cary, IL.What's in the Box?3003 rotary drum pump41" suction tube assembly2" bung adapterCurved discharge spout
