1/4 HP 120V AC Utility Pump

The Dayton 11C685 is a 1/4 horsepower plug-in utility pump rated for 120V AC at 60 Hz. It draws 3.20 amps and operates without an included switch. The stainless-steel body and impeller resist corrosion while the Buna-N, ceramic and stainless-steel shaft seal handles dirty water.

Buyers needing automatic level control

This pump suits users who will provide their own float switch or manual control for drainage tasks. Builders who need an integrated automatic switch should look at a different model. Installations requiring a sump pit smaller than 18 inches in diameter cannot use this unit.

20 ft maximum head decides fit

The pump delivers 21 gpm at 5 ft of head, 15 gpm at 10 ft and 8 gpm at 15 ft, with a shut-off head of 20 ft. If the discharge point exceeds 20 ft of vertical lift this pump will not move water.

Questions about this item

How do I install the 1/4 HP 120V AC utility pump and what step is often missed?

Place the pump in a sump pit at least 18 inches in diameter with a minimum water depth of 12 inches, then plug it into a 120V AC, 60 Hz outlet. The step often missed is providing a separate switch or controller because no switch is included with the pump.

What maintenance will the stainless steel impeller and Buna-N ceramic shaft seal need later?

Inspect the stainless steel impeller and Buna-N ceramic shaft seal periodically for wear or debris buildup. Replace the seal if leakage appears around the shaft, and clean the impeller if flow drops below the rated 21 gpm at 5 ft head, 15 gpm at 10 ft, or 8 gpm at 15 ft.

What limit appears first during continuous operation at maximum head?

The pump reaches its maximum head of 20 ft, where flow drops to zero. At that point the 3.20-amp motor runs continuously against a closed discharge, causing heat buildup that becomes the first sustained-use limit.
