Description

Product Overview

The TERA PUMP 316 is a heavy‑duty, above‑ground drum pump engineered from 316 grade stainless steel, delivering exceptional corrosion resistance and long‑term durability in demanding environments. Its vertical manual design incorporates a robust goose‑neck style discharge spout that directs flow precisely, while the cushioned, non‑slip grip ensures comfortable operation even during extended pumping sessions. With a maximum flow rate of 1.67 gallons per minute, the pump can empty a full 55‑gallon drum in roughly six strokes per gallon, providing rapid transfer of diesel, kerosene, acetone, solvents, thinners, and other industrial liquids. The telescopic suction tube adds flexibility, allowing users to reach deep into containers without compromising suction power. Compact dimensions of 48 × 8 × 8 inches and a lightweight 4.94‑lb construction make the pump easy to transport, store, and deploy across a variety of job sites, from farm equipment maintenance bays to manufacturing plants.

Usage

Designed for versatility, the TERA PUMP 316 excels in a wide range of applications. Agricultural operators can use it to refill fuel tanks on tractors, harvesters, and generators without the need for electrical power, reducing downtime during peak season. In automotive workshops, mechanics rely on the pump to safely transfer oil, brake fluid, and cleaning solvents between containers, minimizing spillage and exposure to hazardous vapors. Industrial facilities benefit from its ability to handle corrosive chemicals, allowing maintenance crews to empty and refill drums of cleaning agents, paint thinners, and laboratory reagents with confidence. The pump’s self‑priming capability means it can start drawing liquid from a dry state, eliminating the need for pre‑filling or auxiliary equipment. Its ergonomic design also makes it suitable for occasional home‑use projects, such as transferring gasoline for lawn equipment or moving water for emergency preparedness kits.
