Action Pump 7006 5oz Piston Pump for 5, 6, 7, 15, 30, 55 Gallon Drums – Durable PVC Construction

The Action Pump 7006 hand-operated piston drum pump is engineered for versatility and reliability in a range of industrial applications. Constructed from durable PVC (polyvinyl chloride), this pump exhibits exceptional resistance to acids and alkalis, making it suitable for dispensing a variety of fluids. With a flow rate of 5 ounces per stroke and a maximum capacity of 2 gallons per minute (gpm)—1 gpm for oil—this pump is an efficient solution for quick liquid transfers.

Ideal for use with 5, 6, 7, 15, 30, and 55-gallon drums, the Action Pump 7006 comes equipped with both 70mm and 3/4′ National Pipe Taper (NPT) threaded bung adapters. The pump features a 1-1/2′ inlet port paired with an 11′ suction tube, along with a 1/2′ outlet port that connects to a 22′ polyethylene discharge tube. This special discharge tube is designed to resist abrasion and corrosion, ensuring long-lasting performance even under harsh conditions.

Pumps, including the Action Pump 7006, utilize mechanical action to move liquids, gases, or slurries (solids suspended in a liquid or gas). This specific model employs a positive displacement (PD) mechanism, which captures and releases discrete amounts of flow into a chamber before forcing it out. This technology is widely used in fuel and oil pumps in vehicles, hydraulic systems, and bicycle pumps.

In contrast, kinetic pumps function by transferring energy from the pump’s movement to the fluid flow. Kinetic pumps utilize an impeller to draw in the flow, add energy, and move it through a volute, ensuring efficient liquid transfer. Common examples of kinetic pumps include centrifugal pumps, in-line pumps, sump pumps, and suction pumps. Energy sources for all types of pumps can include wind power, manual operation, electricity, or gasoline and diesel fuel.

Action Pump, founded in 1981 and headquartered in Cary, IL, specializes in manufacturing drum and pail pumps, as well as grease, oil, and lubrication products, ensuring high-quality solutions for various dispensing needs.
