Drum Pumps

Morse Manual Drum / Barrel Pumps to dispense from a 55-Gallon (210 liter) drum.


Key features

  • Double-action piston pump delivers on forward and on back strokes to pump a gallon in fewer than 5 cycles
  • Self priming with built-in siphon breaker
  • Hand drum pumps are capable of dispensing liquids with viscosity up to 2000 SSU (about as thick as 30 weight motor oil at room temperature). Handle effort increases as viscosity approaches this maximum.
  • Chemically compatible with liquids up to 80oF (26oC)
  • CAUTION: Ensure chemical compatibility for each liquid by chemical name. See Drum Pump Spec Sheet for chemical compatibility.
  • WARNING: When pumping flammable or combustible liquids from one container to another, both containers must be effectively bonded and grounded!

Double-action piston 55 gallon manual drum / barrel pumps are self priming, delivering on both the forward and the back stroke. It takes fewer than 5 cycles to yield a gallon (3.8 liters). Built-in siphon breaker prevents unwanted flow when pumping is stopped. Unlike metal hand pumps, it will even handle fresh or salt water. Rust is no problem here! Handle can be padlocked to prevent unauthorized dispensing. Mount handle in two different positions:
  1. Above drum pump. Handle will then extend 20.5" (52 cm) above the bung when upright.
  2. Below drum pump for easier operation from below with the drum on a truck or platform.
Morse manual drum and barrel pumps provide a controlled discharge rate of approximately 1 quart (0.95 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 (210 or 114 liter) steel drum. Adapters available for 2" buttress thread of plastic barrels.
  • 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
  • 8 Foot (2.4 m) long, 3/4" (1.9 cm) diameter, NPT discharge hose
  • Self-lubricating teflon piston ring operates wet or dry for long life
Hand drum pumps are capable of dispensing liquids with viscosity up to 2000 SSU (about as thick as 30 weight motor oil at room temperature). Handle effort increases as viscosity approaches this maximum. Morse 55-gallon (210 liter) Drum Pumps are chemically compatible with liquids up to 80oF (26oC). Each barrel hand drum pump is made in the same style and has the same action. They vary only in materials of construction, consisting of specific polymers and elastomers for resistance to certain types of chemicals. CAUTION: Ensure Chemical Compatibility! Chemical compatibility of a drum pump or barrel pump should be checked for EACH LIQUID BY CHEMICAL NAME. See Drum Pump Spec Sheet for chemical compatibility list. 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.

* GENERAL COMPATIBILITY GUIDE. See Drum Pump Spec Sheet for Specific Chemical Compatibility.
  • 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 affect choice of barrel pump.
No single 55-gallon (210 liter) 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. * NOTE: GENERAL GUIDE ONLY. Final determination of suitability of barrel pump for intended use, or for manner of use, is responsibility of the user. Consult Morse for advice on drum pump for compatibility with a specific liquid if it is not shown here. Please furnish chemical names. Chemicals may be hazardous. It is the user's responsibility to take appropriate safety and protective measures. 55 gal drum hand pump specifications are subject to change without notice.
