Product purpose
The Dayton 6GKR1 is an electric drum pump designed to transfer fluids from standard drums using a 120V AC power supply. It suits workshops, fleet garages and industrial sites that need a portable, plug-in solution for dispensing liquids such as DEF or light oils.
Upgrade path
It replaces manual lever or rotary hand pumps when faster, less fatiguing transfer is required. The jump is worth it for operators who move multiple drums per shift and want automatic nozzle shut-off, thermal protection and the ability to run dry without damage.
Sustained operation
The 1 HP motor delivers up to 7 gpm at a maximum head pressure of 32 psi while maintaining thermal protection during extended runs. A 96-inch discharge hose and 39-inch suction tube reach deep drums, and the 16-foot cord allows flexible placement without an extension lead.

Questions about this item
What size opening does the 1 5/8 in suction tube require on the drum?
The suction tube has a 1 5/8 in outer diameter, so the drum bung must accept that size; the included bung adapter fits standard openings.
How is the pump secured to the drum, and what step is often missed?
Insert the suction tube through the bung adapter, tighten the adapter into the drum opening, then plug the NEMA 5-15-P cord into a 120V AC outlet; users sometimes forget to fully seat the adapter before starting.
Which parts will need replacement after extended use?
The 96 in discharge hose, automatic nozzle, and suction tube seals wear over time; the motor includes thermal protection but brushes or bearings may eventually require service.
