Action Pump 3008DT Aluminum Lever Action Pump With Drip Tray

This Action Pump 3008DT hand-operated lever action pump has an aluminum body and drip tray with a polyethylene piston and buna-n seal for resistance to oil, delivers 16 oz. of liquid per stroke, and is suitable for dispensing a range of oils. This lever drum pump has a 40-1/2" three-piece suction tube, a 7/8" discharge port, and comes with a 2" bung adapter. It is suitable for use with 15, 30, and 55 gallon drums in a variety of industrial and commercial applications.SpecificationsPumpPiston drum pumpMaterialsAluminum body, polyethylene piston, buna-n sealFlow rate16 oz. per strokeDischarge port7/8"Maximum temperature140 degrees FMaximum liquid viscosity1,500 SSUFor use with15, 30, and 55 gallon drumsWeight8 lb.DimensionsOverall length: 52"; Suction tube: 40-1/2"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?3008DT piston drum pump40-1/2" suction tube2" bung adapterDrip tray
