Action Pump DD-8 Hand Operated Drum Pump for Fuels, Aluminum Body, 1 Gallon per 5 Strokes

The Action Pump DD-8 is a hand-operated diaphragm drum pump designed for efficiency and durability in dispensing fuels, including gasoline and diesel. With its lightweight aluminum body, the DD-8 offers resistance to corrosion, making it an ideal choice for industrial and commercial applications. This pump is engineered to deliver a maximum flow rate of 20 gallons per minute (gpm), ensuring rapid dispensing of liquids.

One of the standout features of the Action Pump DD-8 is its double-action mechanism. This design allows the pump to dispense liquid both on the upstroke and the downstroke, significantly increasing efficiency compared to traditional single-action pumps. The telescoping suction tube can be adjusted to any length between 19-3/8 inches and 34-27/32 inches, making it versatile for use with 15, 30, or 55-gallon drums.

Pumps like the Action Pump DD-8 utilize mechanical action to move liquids, gases, or slurries. The mechanical action can be categorized into two main types: positive displacement (PD) and kinetic. PD pumps, such as the DD-8, capture and release discrete amounts of flow into a chamber and then force it out, making them ideal for precise dispensing applications. Similarly, kinetic pumps, which use an impeller to draw in and move flow, are commonly found in industrial applications like centrifugal pumps, inline pumps, sump pumps, and suction pumps.

The Action Pump brand, established in 1981 and based in Cary, IL, specializes in manufacturing high-quality drum and pail pumps, as well as grease, oil, and lubrication products. Their commitment to quality and innovation ensures that their pumps, including the DD-8, meet the rigorous demands of modern fuel dispensing.

In the box, you will find the DD-8 diaphragm drum pump, a telescoping suction tube assembly, a 7-foot discharge hose, and a 2-inch bung adapter, providing everything you need to get started with your dispensing tasks right away.
