Pedestal Sump Pump for Residential Basements
The Dayton 5URJ5 is a pedestal sump pump designed for residential basements and crawl spaces where water removal is required. It operates on standard 120V AC household current and uses a vertical float switch for automatic operation. The cast iron body and impeller provide durability for continuous duty cycles.
Vertical Float Switch with Fixed Actuation Points
The pump activates when water reaches 11 inches and shuts off at 4 inches, a fixed range that determines whether the unit fits your sump basin depth. At 5 feet of head the flow rate is 103 gpm, dropping to 72 gpm at 10 feet and 39 gpm at 15 feet. Maximum solids passage is 3/4 inch.
Straightforward Pedestal Installation
The pedestal design keeps the motor above the basin floor, simplifying access for maintenance and switch inspection. A minimum basin diameter of 18 inches is required to accommodate the 13 inch body diameter and float travel. The 43 inch overall height must clear any low joists or obstructions above the pit.

Questions about this item
What does the 103 gpm flow rate at 5 ft of head mean for my basement?
At a 5 ft lift the pump moves 103 gallons per minute, clearing a typical basement sump quickly during heavy rain.
How does the 120V AC single-phase power limit where I can install this pump?
It runs on standard household 120V AC, 60 Hz, single-phase current, so any grounded 15 A outlet on a dedicated circuit will power it.
Will the 43 in overall height and 13 in body diameter fit inside my 18 in sump pit?
The 13 in body fits an 18 in minimum pit, and the 43 in column extends above the basin for float clearance.
