This Action Pump 3006 hand-operated lever action pump is made with a die cast zinc alloy body, a polyethylene piston, and neoprene seals, has a flow rate of 16 oz. per stroke, and is suitable for dispensing high-viscosity fluids such as oils and paraffin. It has a 0.87" discharge spout, and comes with a 33-3/4" telescoping suction tube, a 2" bung adapter, and a high-angle discharge spout attachment with screen. This lever drum pump is suitable for use with 15, 30, and 55 gallon drums in a wide range of industrial and commercial applications.SpecificationsPumpPiston drum pump, lever actionMaterialsDie cast zinc alloy body, polyethylene piston, neoprene sealsFlow rate16 oz. per strokeDischarge port0.87"Maximum temperature140 degrees FFor use with15, 30, and 55 gallon drumsWeight6 lb.DimensionsOverall length: 55"; Suction tube: 33-3/4"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.What's in the Box?3006 piston drum pump33-3/4" telescoping suction tube2" bung adapterCurved discharge spoutHigh-angle discharge spout with screen
