Utility pump for 12 V DC systems

The Dayton 5UXL8 is a self-priming utility pump designed for 12 V DC power sources. It delivers a maximum flow of 3.3 gpm at 10 ft of head and can develop up to 36.7 ft of head at 15.9 psi maximum operating pressure. The brass housing and Buna-N impeller handle water transfer tasks in mobile or off-grid settings.

Sustained flow and pressure limits

Under continuous operation the pump maintains its rated 3.3 gpm at 10 ft of head without exceeding 15.9 psi. The 1/10 hp motor draws power steadily from a 12 V supply, and the self-priming design re-establishes flow after brief interruptions up to the 7 ft suction lift limit. Performance drops off as head approaches the 36.7 ft maximum.

Installation notes and common issues

A 7 ft power cord reaches most vehicle or battery connections, while 3/8 in MGHT intake and 3/4 in hose discharge fittings accept standard garden-hose hardware. The pump is restricted by California Proposition 65 for chemical exposure, so handlers should wear gloves and avoid ingestion. No priming procedure is required beyond ensuring the intake stays submerged.

Questions about this item

How much current does the 12 VDC motor draw when the pump runs continuously?

The pump is rated at 1/10 hp maximum on a 12 V DC supply; actual amperage depends on load and head pressure.

What hose and fittings are needed to connect the 3/4 in discharge and 3/8 in MGHT intake?

Use a 3/4 in hose for the discharge port and a 3/8 in male garden hose thread fitting for the intake side.

Will this self-priming pump work with the existing 12 V battery and wiring on my older boat?

It operates on 12 V DC with a 7 ft cord and self-primes up to 7 ft suction lift, so it can run from a standard 12 V system if wiring and fuse capacity are adequate.
