Dayton 53JU97 Drum Pump Overview

This air operated drum pump delivers a maximum flow rate of 12.5 gpm for 55 gallon drums. It operates on a 1:1 ratio with an air inlet size of 1/4 in FNPT. The unit includes a basic pump package with discharge hose for immediate fluid transfer applications.

Suited for High Viscosity Fluids

This pump handles fluids up to 15,000 cps viscosity making it suitable for oil and similar media. Buyers needing higher flow rates beyond 12.5 gpm or electric powered operation should look at alternative pump types. The 20 to 100 psi air pressure range requires an adequate compressed air supply at the point of use.

12.5 gpm Maximum Flow Rate

The 12.5 gpm maximum flow rate determines if this pump meets your volume transfer requirements. At 100 psi maximum outlet pressure it achieves 231 ft maximum head for pumping distance. Verify your air system delivers between 20 and 100 psi to operate within the specified performance envelope.

Questions about this item

How do I confirm the Dayton 53JU97 drum pump is delivering its rated 12.5 gpm flow after setup?

Connect the 1/2 inch ID discharge tube, supply compressed air between 20 and 100 psi, and measure the volume discharged in one minute; a steady stream near 12.5 gallons indicates the 1:1 ratio pump is working as specified.

What comes with the Dayton 53JU97 and what must I supply separately?

The package includes the basic air-operated pump with a discharge hose; you must provide a 55-gallon drum, a compressed-air source at 1/4 inch FNPT, and suitable piping for the 3/8 inch air outlet and 1/2 inch FNPT discharge connection.

Which capacity version of the Dayton 53JU97 should I choose for a 55-gallon drum?

This model is built for 55-gallon drums and delivers up to 12.5 gpm with a maximum viscosity of 15,000 cps; select it when your container size and fluid thickness match those ratings.
