Submersible Sump Pump for Residential Drainage

The Dayton 3YU74 is a submersible sump pump rated at one-third horsepower and 115 volts AC. It is designed to remove water from sump pits in basements or crawl spaces. The unit uses a tether float switch for automatic operation and has a 1-1/4 inch discharge connection. It suits homeowners needing reliable water removal.

Installation Requirements and Common Issues

The pump requires a sump pit with a minimum diameter of 12 inches and operates on a standard 60 Hz electrical supply drawing 2.8 amps. The tether float switch needs adequate clearance to move freely without obstruction. A piggyback plug allows the switch to control power directly. Debris in the pit can impede the float or clog the stainless steel impeller.

Sustained Operation and Flow Performance

Flow rates decrease as discharge head increases, delivering 16 gallons per minute at 5 feet of head and 8 gallons per minute at 10 feet. At 15 feet of head the flow drops to 1 gallon per minute, and the maximum shut-off head is 16 feet. The stainless steel body and Buna-N shaft seal are built for continuous submersion during extended pumping cycles.
