Plews Lubrimatic 55-303 Rotary Hand Pump

Product Description

The PLEWS LUBRIMATIC 55-303 is a rotary hand pump designed for transferring noncorrosive petroleum-based fluids of light to medium viscosity. Built around a single-direction 2-vane mechanism housed in a rugged cast-iron body, the 55-303 delivers reliable fluid movement without electrical power. The steel suction pipe measures 42 inches, providing reach into drums and tanks common in shop and field environments. Output is approximately 1 gallon per 18 revolutions when used with SAE 10 oil. The pump is sold as an individual unit and is suited for technicians and service personnel working in industrial, commercial, automotive, and agricultural settings.

The 55-303 is intended for use with noncorrosive petroleum-based fluids at light to medium viscosity. Typical applications include oil transfers in fleet maintenance shops, agricultural equipment service, and industrial facilities where hand-operated equipment is preferred or required. The hand-powered design makes it practical for remote locations or areas without access to powered pumping equipment. Its cast-iron housing holds up to the demands of regular shop use across a range of service environments.

Compatibility

Designed for use with noncorrosive petroleum-based fluids of light to medium viscosity; not rated for corrosive, water-based, or high-viscosity fluids.

Installation Notes

Installation and setup is typically performed by mechanics, fleet technicians, or agricultural equipment service personnel. Before connecting the pump, confirm the fluid in the source container is a compatible noncorrosive petroleum-based product within the rated viscosity range. Secure all fittings and verify the suction pipe is fully seated before operation. Do not use this pump with corrosive fluids, acids, solvents, or any fluid outside its stated compatibility.
