Sandpiper Air-Operated Double Diaphragm Oil Pump, 1/2in Inlet, 15 GPM, Aluminum/Buna, Model S05B1ABWANS000

The Sandpiper Air-Operated Double Diaphragm Oil Pump is designed to deliver superior performance and reliability for various fluid transfer applications. This model, identified as S05B1ABWANS000, features a 1/2-inch inlet and achieves a remarkable flow rate of 15 gallons per minute (GPM). Constructed from durable aluminum and Buna materials, this pump is specifically engineered to handle fuels and flammable solvents, ensuring safety and efficiency in your operations.

One of the standout features of the Sandpiper pump is its ground capability, which is essential for eliminating static discharge. This is particularly important when dealing with flammable liquids, making it a safe choice for your work environment. The wetted parts, made from a combination of aluminum and Buna, are rated for service with typical fluids, including oil and automatic transmission fluid. This versatility allows for a wide range of applications, especially with flammable solvent-based oil products.

The Sandpiper Pumps are designed with an externally serviceable air distribution system, which enhances ease of maintenance and reduces downtime. With all-bolted construction, these pumps provide a robust solution for demanding environments. They are self-priming and can run dry without sustaining damage, which adds to their reliability. Furthermore, they are capable of deadheading against a closed discharge, eliminating the need for bypass or pressure relief valves. This feature simplifies the operation and increases the efficiency of the pump.

In addition to these operational benefits, the seal-less design coupled with corrosion-resistant materials makes the Sandpiper pump ideal for handling solids and high-suction lift applications. This makes it particularly effective for transferring antifreeze, automatic transmission fluid, light viscosity petroleum, and synthetic-based oils. The adaptability of this pump ensures it can meet the needs of various industries.

For optimal performance, it is recommended to use the inline filter regulator (Item# 15641) with a 1/4-inch air inlet. This accessory will help maintain the integrity and functionality of your pump, ensuring it operates smoothly and efficiently.

In summary, the Sandpiper Air-Operated Double Diaphragm Oil Pump is a reliable, efficient, and safe choice for transferring various fluids. Its unique features and robust construction make it suitable for both industrial and automotive applications where safety and performance are paramount.
