Drum pump for 15 to 55 gallon containers

The Dayton 5XA54 is a hand operated lever pump designed to fit drums from 15 to 55 gallons. Its wetted parts are polyphenylene sulfide, PVDF and stainless steel with PVDF seals. The pump moves 10 ounces per stroke and delivers up to 7 GPM for fluids up to 1,500 SUS viscosity at temperatures up to 140 degrees F. It suits maintenance crews and plant operators transferring chemicals or oils from standard drums.

Lever action and tube lengths set the workflow

The lever mechanism provides manual flow control without external power. A 36 inch suction tube reaches the bottom of deep drums while the 9 inch discharge tube directs liquid into receiving containers. Both inlet and outlet are 1 inch with a 1-7/16 inch suction tube OD. The PVDF piston and polyphenylene sulfide discharge tubing resist a broad pH range so the same pump can handle different fluids without swapping parts.

Manual operation limits volume and viscosity

Because the pump is hand powered, sustained high volume transfer depends on operator effort and stroke rate. The 1,500 SUS maximum viscosity means thicker gear oils or cold syrups may not move efficiently. The 140 degree F temperature ceiling excludes hot asphalt or steam heated fluids. Buyers needing continuous duty, higher viscosity handling or automated dosing should specify a powered pump instead.

Questions about this item

How often will the PVDF seals and PVDF piston need replacement on this lever pump?

PVDF components resist chemical attack, but replacement timing depends on the fluid pumped and how many 10‑oz strokes the pump completes each day.

What is the first limit reached when the pump runs continuously at its 7 GPM rating?

The 1,500 SUS maximum viscosity or the 140 °F temperature ceiling will stop effective flow before the lever mechanism itself wears out.

Does the pump body or discharge tube get hot during all‑day operation?

Fluid temperature is capped at 140 °F, so the polyphenylene sulfide and PVDF wetted parts stay near that temperature; the lever handle remains at ambient.
