  • Air-powered operation removes electric shock risk near flammable liquids
  • 15 gpm maximum flow rate empties 55-gallon drums quickly
  • Handles fluids up to 15,000 cps viscosity for thick oils and syrups
  • 1:1 pressure ratio delivers up to 100 psi outlet pressure

55-Gallon Drum Pump

The Dayton 53JU98 is an air-operated drum pump designed for 55-gallon containers. It delivers a maximum flow of 15 gpm with a 1:1 ratio. The unit suits industrial fluid transfer tasks requiring reliable dispensing from standard drums.

15 GPM Flow and 231 ft Head

At 100 psi air pressure the pump reaches 15 gpm and 231 ft of head. Oil flow peaks at 14.5 gpm. Viscosity up to 15,000 cps is handled. Below 20 psi air supply the pump will not operate effectively.

Basic Package Upgrade

This basic pump package includes a discharge hose and replaces manual or lower-capacity drum pumps. The jump is worth it when container size is 55 gallons and flow above 14 gpm is needed. Smaller containers or lower viscosity fluids may not require this capacity.

Questions about this item

Will this pump connect to the 1/2 in discharge hose I already use?

The discharge tube outlet has a 1/2 in inner diameter and a 3/4 in outer diameter with an FNPT connection, so it matches standard 1/2 in hose fittings.

How can I verify the pump is delivering the rated 15 gpm after installation?

Supply at least 20 psi air pressure, open the discharge, and measure the volume collected in one minute; it should approach 15 gpm for low-viscosity fluids and 14.5 gpm for oil.

Does the 53JU98 package include the air hose and drum bung adapter, or must I buy them separately?

The basic pump package comes with the discharge hose only; an air supply hose, 1/4 in FNPT air fitting, and a 55 gal drum bung adapter are not included and must be purchased separately.
