What this pump does
The Dayton 3YU69 is a 1/4 HP submersible sump pump that runs on 115V AC power at 60 Hz and draws 2.6 A. A vertical float switch with piggyback electrical connection turns the motor on at an 8 in water level and off at 3 1/2 in. It is built for residential basements or crawl spaces where automatic water removal is required.
Switch and flow performance
The piggyback plug lets the float switch control power without rewiring the outlet. Flow rates are 16 gpm at 5 ft of head, 11 gpm at 10 ft, and 6 gpm at 15 ft, with a maximum shut-off head of 20 ft. The polypropylene body, polyamide impeller and carbon-ceramic shaft seal handle clear water drainage duties.
Installation notes
The pump needs a sump pit at least 10 in diameter to accommodate the 8 3/4 in body and vertical float travel. A 1-1/4 in male discharge threads onto standard pipe or hose. No separate control box is required. Buyers who need higher flow at greater lift or a tethered float for wider pits should look elsewhere.

Questions about this item
When will the carbon and ceramic shaft seal need replacement?
The carbon-ceramic shaft seal is a wear part; plan to inspect it annually and replace if leakage appears around the motor shaft.
What head height limits continuous flow?
Maximum head is 20 ft; at 15 ft head the pump still delivers 6 gpm, but flow stops beyond 20 ft.
How hot does the motor run during all-day operation?
The 1/4 HP motor draws 2.6 A at 115 V AC and is cooled by the surrounding water in the sump pit.
