Pump Type and Target Use
The Dayton 5URJ2 is a pedestal sump pump rated at 1/3 hp for 120V AC residential drainage. It uses a vertical float switch with integral electrical connection and a stainless steel body and impeller. Designed for sump pits at least 18 in diameter and basins up to 45 in diameter, it suits homeowners managing groundwater intrusion.
Pre-Installation Checks
Verify the sump pit diameter meets the 18 in minimum and the basin diameter does not exceed 45 in. Confirm a 120V AC, 60 Hz single-phase supply rated for 4 A is available at the installation point. Ensure the discharge piping can handle solids up to 7/16 in and that vertical clearance accommodates the 55 in overall height.
Suitability and Limitations
This pump suits basements or crawlspaces needing automatic water removal at moderate head pressures. Buyers requiring higher flow at 10 ft or 15 ft head, or those needing a submersible design for quieter operation, should look elsewhere. It is not intended for applications demanding solids handling larger than 7/16 in or for pits smaller than 18 in diameter.

Questions about this item
Does the pump ship with the vertical float switch already attached or do I need to buy it separately?
The vertical float switch is integral to the pump so it arrives ready to install without extra parts.
Should I choose the 1/3 hp model or a higher horsepower version for a typical basement sump pit?
This 1/3 hp unit delivers 54 gpm at 5 ft head and 44 gpm at 10 ft head, suitable for standard residential pits.
What does the 55 in overall height mean when the pump sits in an 18 in diameter pit?
The 55 in height measures from base to top of motor, so the float switch can operate between the 4 in off and 11 in on points inside the pit.
