This Action Pump ACT-CH-21 hand-operated piston safety pump is constructed with chrome steel and PTFE (polytetrafluoroethylene), delivers 8 oz. of fluid per stroke, and is suitable for transferring flammable liquids. It is Factory Mutual Research Corporation (FM) approved for safety, and it comes with a grounding kit that consists of a ground wire and clips, and a 2" bung adapter. This piston drum pump is suitable for a range of industrial and commercial flammable liquid transfer applications.SpecificationsPumpPiston drum pump, hand-operatedMaterialsChrome steel, PTFEFlow rate8 oz. per strokeDischarge spout1/2"Maximum temperature140 degrees FFor use with5, 15, 30 or 55 gallon drumsWeight4 lb.DimensionsOverall length: 45-1/4"; Suction tube: 22"Standards metFM approvedPumps 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?ACT-CH-21 drum pump22" suction tube2" bung adapterGrounding kit
