Air-Operated Drum Pump 150 psi
The Dayton 5UWG8 is an air-operated drum pump designed to transfer fluids from standard containers. It suits maintenance teams and industrial operators who need a self-priming pump capable of handling media up to 850 cps viscosity without electrical power.
Verify Air Supply and Connections
Confirm the compressed-air system can deliver up to 150 psi at the pump inlet. The discharge uses a 3/4 inch FNPT connection, so ensure existing piping or hose fittings match this thread type before installation.
Sustained Operation Within Rated Limits
Under continuous duty the pump maintains flow as long as air pressure stays within the 150 psi maximum and fluid viscosity does not exceed 850 cps. The motor housing enclosure protects internal components during extended runs, while the included suction tube and bung adapter keep the intake stable.

Questions about this item
Does the 5UWG8 pump ship with a discharge hose and nozzle, or do I need to buy them separately?
The unit includes a suction tube and bung adapter, but no discharge hose, nozzle or spout; those must be purchased separately.
The spec lists 850 cps maximum viscosity — how do I know if my fluid is within that limit?
850 cps is the highest viscosity the pump can handle; check your fluid's centipoise rating at operating temperature and choose this model only if the value is 850 or lower.
What does the 150 psi air-pressure rating mean for day-to-day use in my shop?
150 psi is the maximum compressed-air pressure the motor housing can accept; run your air supply at or below that level to keep the pump operating within its design limits.
