Zoeller 42-0007 Plug-In Utility Pump 1/6 HP 115V AC 11.375in H

Plug-In Utility Pump 1/6 HP

The Zoeller 42-0007 is a plug-in utility pump rated at 1/6 horsepower and 115V AC for intermittent water removal. It suits homeowners and contractors who need a portable pump for basements, window wells or utility sinks. The unit operates on standard household current without permanent wiring. Its engineered plastic body and polypropylene construction resist corrosion in clean water applications.

Flow Rates at Measured Head Heights

At 5 feet of head the pump delivers 15 gallons per minute, dropping to 11 gpm at 10 feet and 6 gpm at 15 feet. Maximum shut-off head is 19 feet, beyond which flow ceases. The carbon-ceramic shaft seal and engineered plastic impeller handle clear water with minimal solids. A minimum water depth of 1/8 inch is required for the pump to prime and operate.

Capacity and Operational Limits

The pump comfortably handles routine dewatering tasks such as draining flooded window wells, emptying clogged sinks or transferring water from low spots. It runs out of head capacity at 19 feet, so it cannot lift water to higher elevations or overcome long discharge runs with significant friction loss. Continuous-duty or high-volume applications exceed its design intent.
