  • Delivers up to 12.5 gpm flow for fast drum emptying
  • Air-powered at 20–100 psi with no electricity needed

  • Pumps against 231 ft head for high-reach discharge
  • Fits standard 55 gal drums with 1/2 in discharge outlet

Dayton 53JU96 Drum Pump 12.5 gpm

This air-operated drum pump moves fluid at up to 12.5 gpm and handles viscosities up to 15,000 cps. It fits standard 55 gal drums and connects with a 1/2 in FNPT discharge. The unit is new and intended for industrial plumbing applications where compressed air is available.

Thermals noise and power draw

The pump runs on compressed air between 20 psi and 100 psi with a 1:1 pressure ratio. Maximum outlet pressure reaches 100 psi and maximum head is 231 ft. Air inlet is 1/4 in FNPT and air outlet is 3/8 in, so noise and heat depend on the shop compressor rather than the pump itself.

Upgrade from manual or electric drum pumps

This model replaces hand pumps or lower-flow electric units when a 12.5 gpm rate and 15,000 cps viscosity capacity are needed. The jump is worth it for 55 gal drum transfer jobs that require continuous duty and air supply infrastructure. It does not suit buyers who need battery operation or gravity-fed simplicity.

Questions about this item

How do I install the Dayton 53JU96 drum pump and what step is often missed?

Connect the 1/4 in FNPT air inlet to a supply between 20 and 100 psi, attach the 3/8 in air outlet, and fit the 1/2 in ID discharge hose; the step often missed is verifying the air regulator is set before the pump cycles.

What maintenance or replacement will the Dayton 53JU96 need over time?

Inspect the air inlet filter and discharge hose seals regularly; replace worn seals or a clogged filter to maintain the 12.5 gpm flow rating and 1:1 pressure ratio.

What limit appears first when the Dayton 53JU96 runs continuously?

The 100 psi maximum air pressure and outlet pressure ceiling is reached before the 231 ft head limit, capping sustained output at 12.5 gpm for fluids up to 15,000 cps viscosity.
