Bronze utility pump for light drainage
The Dayton 3ACB9 is a self-priming bronze utility pump rated at 1/3 hp for 115/230 V AC operation. It suits homeowners and maintenance crews who need a compact, corrosion-resistant pump for intermittent water transfer or dewatering tasks. The brass housing and Buna-N impeller handle clean or slightly dirty liquids up to a maximum viscosity of 5,000 SUS.
Flow capacity and head limits
At 10 ft of head the pump delivers up to 9.6 gpm, drawing 7.2 A at 115 V or 3.6 A at 230 V. Maximum shut-off head reaches 50 ft, corresponding to 21.6 psi, while suction lift is limited to 20 ft. These figures cover typical basement, utility-sink or equipment-drain scenarios, but the unit will not sustain flow beyond the 50 ft head ceiling.
Replaces smaller manual or plastic pumps
This model upgrades from hand-operated transfer pumps or low-head plastic units that cannot self-prime or tolerate 5,000 SUS viscosity. The step up is worthwhile when automatic priming, bronze construction and 1/3 hp continuous duty are required. It does not suit applications needing flow above 9.6 gpm at 10 ft head or discharge pressures exceeding 21.6 psi.

Questions about this item
Will the 3/4 in FNPT discharge and 1/2 in FNPT intake on this pump match the piping I already have?
The pump uses a 3/4 inch FNPT discharge and a 1/2 inch FNPT intake, so it connects directly to matching threaded pipe or fittings without adapters.
How can I confirm the 1/3 hp motor is delivering the rated 9.6 gpm at 10 ft of head after installation?
Measure the flow at the discharge with a bucket and stopwatch while the pump runs at 115 V or 230 V; it should move roughly 9.6 gallons per minute against 10 feet of head.
Does the 8 ft cord and self-priming feature mean the pump is ready to run, or do I need a separate power cord or priming kit?
The 8 foot power cord is attached and the pump is self-priming, so no extra cord or priming kit is required for standard operation.
