Action Pump 6008 Piston Pump Detergents-Waxes-Water Solubles

This Action Pump 6008 hand-operated piston pump is made of polypropylene with a polyethylene piston for resistance to chemicals, has an adjustable flow rate with a 8 oz. per stroke maximum, and is suitable for dispensing water-based fluids, light oils, mild acids, and corrosive soaps. It has a 1/2" suction port and an overall length of 43.3". It comes with a 2-5/8" pail adapter, and 3/4" and 2" drum adapters. This piston drum pump is suitable for use with 5, 6, 15, 30, and 55 gallon drums in a wide range of industrial and commercial applications.SpecificationsPumpPiston drum pumpMaterialsPolypropylene body, polyethylene pistonFlow rateAdjustable to 2, 4, 6, or 8 oz. per strokeSuction port1/2"Maximum temperature140 degrees FMaximum liquid viscosity4,000 SSUFor use with5, 6, 15, 30, and 55 gallon drumsDimensionsOverall length: 43.3"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?6008 piston pumpSuction tubeDischarge tube2-5/8" pail adapter3/4" drum adapter2" drum adapter
