Action Pump 4006 Polyethylene Bellows Action Siphon Pump, 7 GPM

This Action Pump 4006 hand-operated siphon pump is made with polyethylene for resistance to chemicals, has a flow rate of 7 gallons per minute (gpm), and is suitable for dispensing or transferring kerosene, light oils, or various water-based solvents that are compatible with polyethylene. It has an overall length of 45-3/4", a 34" suction tube, and a 4' discharge tube. This siphon drum pump is suitable for use with 15, 30, and 55 gallon drums in a wide variety of industrial and commercial applications.SpecificationsPumpBellows action siphon pumpMaterialsPolyethyleneFlow rate7 gpmSuction port1"Discharge port1"Maximum temperature140 degrees FMaximum liquid viscosity500 SSUFor use with15, 30, and 55 gallon drumsWeight3 lb.DimensionsOverall length: 45-3/4"; Suction tube: 34"; Discharge tube: 4'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.
