Economy Plastic Drum Siphon Pump by BayTec 5‑55 Gallon

Description

Product Overview

The BayTec Economy Plastic Drum Siphon Pump is engineered for efficiency and reliability in a compact, lightweight package. Constructed from high‑density polyethylene (HDPE) and polyvinyl chloride (PVC), the pump endures temperatures up to 140 °F, providing resistance to chemical corrosion and mechanical wear. Its gravity‑based siphoning mechanism eliminates the need for electrical power or manual pumping, allowing users to transfer liquids quickly and safely. The pump is rated for a flow rate of up to 5 gallons per minute (GPM), making it suitable for a wide range of industrial, laboratory, and field applications.

Designed to accommodate standard 5‑55 gallon drums, the pump includes a 34‑inch intake tube that reaches deep into the drum, ensuring maximum liquid extraction. A 2‑inch NPT bung adapter provides a secure, leak‑free connection to the drum’s vent or opening, while the integrated air vent control lets operators fine‑tune the flow for precise dispensing. The pump’s lightweight design, weighing only 3 pounds, enhances portability and ease of handling, allowing a single operator to set up and operate the system without assistance.

Usage

This siphon pump excels in environments where quick, clean, and controlled liquid transfer is essential. Typical use cases include transferring solvents, oils, water, and other non‑viscous fluids from bulk drums to smaller containers, mixing tanks, or processing equipment. The pump’s simple gravity operation makes it ideal for remote sites lacking electrical infrastructure, as well as for workshops, manufacturing floors, and laboratory benches where space is at a premium.

Because the pump does not rely on moving parts or electricity, it is safe for use with flammable or hazardous liquids, provided proper ventilation and grounding are observed. The durable HDPE and PVC construction also makes the pump suitable for handling mildly acidic or alkaline solutions, extending its service life in demanding chemical environments. Users can trim the suction tube to match the exact depth of the drum, eliminating residual liquid and reducing waste.

FAQ

What types of liquids can I safely pump with this siphon?

The pump is suitable for non‑viscous liquids such as water, solvents, oils, and mild acids or bases. It is not recommended for highly abrasive or highly viscous fluids that could clog the intake.

Do I need any special tools to install the pump?

No special tools are required. The 34‑inch intake tube simply slides into the drum, and the 2‑inch NPT bung adapter screws into the drum’s vent or opening. The air vent control can be adjusted by hand to regulate flow.

Can I use this pump in outdoor or harsh environments?

Yes. The HDPE and PVC materials are UV‑stable and resistant to temperature extremes up to 140 °F, making the pump suitable for outdoor use, construction sites, and other rugged settings.

How do I clean the pump after use?

Because the pump has no moving parts, cleaning is straightforward. Disassemble the intake tube and air vent, rinse with an appropriate solvent or water, and allow all components to dry before reassembly.

Is there a warranty or after‑sales service?

BayTec provides a standard one‑year warranty covering material defects and workmanship. Technical support is available via phone or email, and replacement parts can be ordered directly from the manufacturer.
