Pedestal Sump Pump 0.5 HP
The Dayton 4KU61 is a 115V AC pedestal sump pump rated at 0.5 hp for residential water removal. It uses a vertical float switch with integral electrical connection to automate operation in a sump pit. The cast iron body and stainless steel impeller handle solids up to 3/8 inch. Minimum pit diameter is 18 inches and overall height is 30 1/2 inches.
Sustained Flow at Increasing Head
Flow rates are specified at four head pressures rather than a single burst figure. At 5 feet of head the pump delivers 60 gpm, at 10 feet it provides 48 gpm, at 15 feet it drops to 33 gpm, and at 20 feet it falls to 10 gpm. The motor draws 5 amps at 60 Hz single phase during continuous duty. The float switch activates between 13 and 15 inches on and shuts off at 5 inches off.
115V Single-Phase Interface Limits
The pump requires a 115V AC, 60 Hz, single-phase supply and draws 5 amps under load. No other voltage, frequency or phase configurations are supported. The integral float switch connection means the control circuit cannot be separated from the motor circuit. Maximum solids diameter of 3/8 inch and minimum pit diameter of 18 inches define the physical installation constraints.

Questions about this item
How loud is the pump when it cycles on and off all day?
The unit uses a vertical float switch that turns the pump on at 13 in to 15 in water level and off at 5 in, so it only runs when water reaches those points rather than continuously.
What size sump pit do I need before installing this pump?
The manufacturer specifies a minimum sump pit diameter of 18 in to accommodate the 12 in body diameter and float travel.
Can I connect this pump to my existing 1-1/2 in discharge pipe?
The pump handles solids up to 3/8 in and delivers 60 gpm at 5 ft head, so it will work with standard residential discharge piping that matches the outlet size.
