Action Pump 505 8 oz. PVC Piston Drum Pump with Drip-Resistant Discharge Spout

The Action Pump 505 is an essential tool designed for both industrial and commercial applications. This hand-operated piston drum pump is made entirely of PVC (polyvinyl chloride), ensuring excellent resistance to a wide range of acids and alkalis. This quality construction means that you can rely on its durability even when handling harsh chemicals.

Featuring a flow rate of 8 ounces per stroke, this pump allows for efficient dispensing of various liquids. It is suitable for use with 5, 15, 30, and 55 gallon drums, making it a versatile choice for any operation that requires liquid transfer. The pump’s 3/4-inch drip-resistant discharge spout helps to minimize spills during operation, adding to its user-friendly design.

This piston drum pump employs mechanical action to effectively move liquids, gases, or slurries. The mechanical action of pumps can be categorized into two main types: positive displacement (PD) and kinetic. PD pumps, such as this one, capture and release discrete amounts of flow into a chamber and then force it out, making them ideal for accurate liquid transfer.

Some common examples of PD pumps include fuel and oil pumps found in cars, pumps used in hydraulic systems, and even bicycle pumps. On the other hand, kinetic pumps operate by transferring energy from the pump’s movement to the flow. They use an impeller to draw the flow in, add energy to it, and move it through a volute, effectively transporting it into the intended system.

Power sources for all types of pumps can vary significantly. They may include manual operation, electricity, wind power, or even gasoline and diesel fuel, depending on the specific application and requirements of the pump.
