Double-action piston 55 gallon manual drum / barrel pumps are self priming, delivering on both the forward and the back stroke. It takes less than 5 cycles to yield a gallon (3.8 liters).

Each Morse 55-gallon (210 liter barrel) hand drum pump is made in the same style and has the same action. They vary only in their materials of construction, consisting of specific polymers and elastomers for resistance to certain types of chemicals (please refer to the drum pump chart below).

Morse manual drum and barrel pumps provide a controlled discharge rate of approximately 1 quart (.95 liter) on complete forward and backward cycle at 10 psi over 24 feet (7.3 m). They fit the NPT (National Pipe Thread) of the 2" (5 cm) bung on 55 or 30 gallon (208 or 114 liter) steel drum.

Adaptors are also available to use Morse 55-gallon (210 liter) barrel pumps with the buttress thread of the 2" (5 cm) bung on your plastic barrels.

55 Gallon Drum Hand Pump Features

• Suction lift tested for 15 feet (4.6 m) minimum
• Discharge head up to 25 feet (7.3 m)
• Output head pressure is up to 10.83 psi
• 1" (2.54 cm) diameter NPT suction tube
• 3/4" (1.9 cm) diameter NPT discharge tube
• Two position 55 gallon drum pump handle
  • Mount handle above the drum hand pump. Handle will then extend 20.5" (52 cm) above the bung when upright.

  • Mount handle below the drum hand pump for easier operation from below with the drum on a truck or platform.

• Self-lubricating teflon piston ring operates wet or dry for long life
• Chemically compatible with liquids up to 80oF (26oC)
• Hand drum pumps are capable of dispensing liquids with viscosity up to 2,000 SSU (about as thick as 30 weight motor oil at room temperature). Handle effort increases as viscosity approaches this maximum.
• Models 26, 271-AE and 27-4AV drum / barrel pumps are generally useful with compatible liquids in a mild acidity/alkalinity range of pH 4 to 9. Avoid stronger acids and caustics.
• Models 28-5BV and 28-6BE drum / barrel pumps are useful in a wider pH range.
• Many other chemical characteristics effect choice of barrel pump (see drum pump chart below or chemical compatibility for specific fluids)

~ ~ CAUTION ~ ~ Ensure Chemical Compatibility

• Chemical compatibility of a drum pump or barrel pump should be checked for EACH LIQUID BY CHEMICAL NAME
  • No single 55 gal drum hand pump can be universally chemical resistant
  • Barrel pumps available include flammable drum pump and oil drum pump
• Some blends of chemicals may not be suitable for any of these drum pumps
• Different barrel pump models may be necessary for various liquids
• Final determination of suitability for use intended, or manner of use, is responsibility of the user. Consult Morse for advice on the correct barrel pump for specific liquids. Please furnish chemical names.
• Chemicals may be hazardous. It is the user''s responsibility to take appropriate safety and protective measures. Always wear protective safety clothing such as gloves, apron, goggles.
• IMPORTANT - When pumping flammable or combustible liquids from one container to another, both containers must be effectively bonded and grounded to prevent discharge of sparks or static electricity which could cause explosion and bodily harm.
