Pro-lube SPH/3 Hand Siphon Pump 7 Gpm 55 Gal Drum

Product Description

The PRO-LUBE SPH/3 is a hand-operated siphon pump built for transferring fluids from 55-gallon drums. Constructed from polyethylene, it handles antifreeze, detergents, water-based fluids, mild acids, soaps, and waxes without corrosion concern. It delivers up to 7 gallons per minute (GPM) with manual operation - no power source required. The pump measures 45.5 inches overall length with a hose length of approximately 47.72 inches, giving it the reach needed to clear a standard drum and direct flow precisely. At under 1 pound, it is lightweight enough for one-handed use. Licensed plumbers, industrial maintenance technicians, and fleet service professionals are the typical users.

This siphon pump is suited for drum-decanting operations in automotive service bays, industrial maintenance facilities, pool service vehicles, and general shop environments. It is designed specifically for 55-gallon drum use and works with a broad range of water-based and mild chemical fluids. The 1-inch diameter tube body fits standard drum openings. Operations requiring frequent fluid transfers between drums and smaller containers benefit from the 7 GPM flow rate and the extended hose reach.

Installation Notes

Insert the pump tube fully into the drum opening before operating to ensure proper priming. Verify the target fluid is compatible with polyethylene before use - consult a chemical compatibility chart for borderline fluids. After use, flush the pump with clean water if switching between fluid types to prevent cross-contamination. No tools are required for setup or removal.
