Dayton 5UWK1 Multi-Stage Booster Pump 1/2 hp 120/208-240V 1 Phase 2-Stage Stainless Steel
A two-stage stainless-steel booster pump delivers 21 GPM at 10 psi and up to 27 psi maximum pressure from a 1/2 hp motor that runs on 120 or 208-240 V single-phase power
- TypeDrain Components
- 1/2 hp motor drives two-stage stainless steel impeller for reliable pressure boost
- Dual-voltage 120/208-240 V single-phase operation suits residential and light-commercial wiring
- 21 GPM at 10 psi delivers strong flow for multi-fixture demand
- 27 psi maximum pressure handles elevation and friction losses in typical supply lines
- Totally enclosed fan-cooled enclosure protects motor from moisture and debris
Application and User Fit
This Dayton 5UWK1 is a multi-stage booster pump rated at 1/2 hp for 120 or 208-240 V single-phase supply. Its stainless steel housing and closed impeller suit clean-water pressure-boosting tasks in residential or light-commercial plumbing. The two-stage design delivers 21 GPM at 10 psi with a maximum pressure of 27 psi. Buyers needing higher flow rates or pumps rated for dirty-water or chemical transfer should look elsewhere.
Installation Checks
Verify that your supply voltage matches either 120 V or the 208-240 V range and that the circuit can provide up to 8.6 amps at the lower voltage or 4.0-4.3 amps at the higher voltage. Confirm horizontal mounting space with 1-1/4 inch flanged connections on both inlet and outlet. The pump’s maximum case pressure is 362 psi, so ensure downstream components and piping are rated accordingly. This unit carries a California Proposition 65 warning for cancer and reproductive-harm chemicals.
Thermals, Noise and Power
The totally enclosed fan-cooled motor dissipates heat without exposing internal parts to moisture. Normal operating current is 8.6 amps at 120 V or 4.0-4.3 amps at 208-240 V, giving a clear indication of power draw under load. Stainless steel construction reduces vibration transmitted to pipework, helping keep noise low in typical installations. Continuous duty at the rated 27 psi maximum pressure stays within the motor’s thermal design limits.

Questions about this item
What comes with the 5UWK1 booster pump and what must be purchased separately?
The pump ships as a complete unit with a 1/2 hp motor, stainless-steel housing and impeller, and 1-1/4 in flanged inlet and outlet. Piping, valves, fittings and electrical conduit are not included.
Should I wire the 5UWK1 for 120 V or 208-240 V single-phase?
The motor is dual-voltage; at 120 V it draws 8.6 A, while at 208-240 V it draws 4.0-4.3 A. Choose the voltage that matches your supply and size the circuit breaker accordingly.
What flow can I expect from the 5UWK1 at 10 psi in a real installation?
The pump delivers 21 GPM at 10 psi, with a maximum pressure of 27 psi and a two-stage stainless-steel impeller design for consistent performance.
