Tips

How To Use: The Natural coloured handle (between the orange body and orange cap) is pulled up and down and this pumps the fluid through the pump. Once ‘primed’, after a few motions, the fluid should flow from a higher source to a lower receiver. To stop the flow, unscrew the orange cap at the top of the pump to let air in or simply lift the suction tube out of the fluid.

What is the thread size/fitting on my drum? Steel containers generally have a 3/4″ and/or 2″BSP (British Standard Pipe) or fine thread. It is very difficult to produce plastic containers with such a fine thread and so they have more coarse threads. The two most common plastic threads are a 56 x 4 Buttress Thread and the more coarser 70 x 6 Buttress Thread. Most drum pumps will have a ‘standard’ 2” BSP thread and so we supply Drum Adapters to suit both of the Buttress threads above. Containers can have Internal (Female) threads (as above) or External (Male) threads which are sealed with a cap. You can still use a drum pump on these threads with our External Thread Adapter (see Drum Pumps & Adapters).
