Compact 12 V DC Utility Pump

The Dayton 3ACA6 is a self-priming utility pump built for 12 V DC systems and rated at 1/12 hp. It moves up to 3.4 gpm at 10 ft of head and can develop 40 ft of total head with a maximum suction lift of 7.5 ft. Plastic housing and Buna-N impeller handle fluids up to 3,000 SUS viscosity.

Replaces manual transfer or gravity-fed draining

This pump upgrades from bucket-and-funnel or gravity drainage by delivering 17.3 psi operating pressure through a 3/4 in hose discharge. The jump is worth it when you need portable, powered transfer at 12 V without AC infrastructure and the 7 4/5 ft cord reaches your power source.

Suits mobile and remote fluid transfer

It suits operators moving water or compatible fluids in agricultural, marine or service-vehicle settings where 12 V DC is the only supply. Buyers who need higher flow rates, AC-powered operation, or chemical compatibility beyond the listed viscosity limit should look at other pump types.

Questions about this item

What size hose fits the 3/4 in discharge and MGHT intake on the Dayton 3ACA6?

How do I wire the 12V DC pump and prime it for first use?

Connect the 7.8 ft cord to a 12V DC source; the self-priming design will pull water up to 7.5 ft once the housing is filled.

When should I replace the Buna-N impeller in this utility pump?

Inspect the Buna-N impeller annually or after heavy use; replace it if vanes show cracking, swelling or reduced flow at 3.4 gpm.
