Description
Dispense aggressive aromatic hydrocarbons, fuel additives, and petroleum solvents from barrels. The Milton GoatThroat Groundable Viton Pump and tap package delivers safe siphon-action dispensing for manufacturing shops. Hand-actuated air pressurization pushes liquids through the discharge tube. The manual air pressurization requires intermittent hand pumping to maintain fluid movement across long dispense runs.
Solid conductive polypropylene forms the pump housing, paired with genuine Viton seals to resist harsh petroleum distillates and aromatic hydrocarbons. An external brass grounding lug connects static discharge cables to dissipate static electricity during volatile chemical transfers. A built-in pressure relief valve prevents over-pressurizing sealed barrels beyond 4 PSI. The threaded 2-inch bung adapter locks straight onto standard drums. Stainless steel hardware prevents atmospheric vapor pitting.
Pneumatic Viton Hardware Specs
Plant technicians dispense toxic solvents and fuel additives without chemical vapor leaks. The groundable design stops dangerous static sparks when transferring volatile chemical liquids.
- Conductive polypropylene pump housing connects to ground wires to stop static arcs
- Viton internal seals resist erosion from petroleum hydrocarbons and fuel additives
- Integrated 4-PSI safety valve prevents over-pressurizing plastic or steel drum bodies
- Manual piston pump builds internal drum pressure to drive continuous fluid siphon
- Brass grounding clip attaches straight to metal storage drums for spark prevention
- Threaded 2-inch bung adapter creates an airtight seal on standard barrels
- Adjustable flow control tap dispenses precise fluid quantities without dripping waste
Fluid Bench Testing Telemetry
Bench testing demonstrates four hand pump strokes generate 2.8 PSI drum pressure within 10 seconds. Fluid discharge stabilizes at 4.5 GPM of petroleum solvent through the 0.5-inch outlet spout. Seal integrity holds with zero pressure loss after 30 minutes of continuous pressurized siphon testing. Operator hand force requires just 6 pounds of downward push per stroke.
Worksite Performance Practical Notes
You thread this pump into drum bungs with standard hand pressure without specialized metal wrenches. The intuitive tap handle allows precise drop-by-drop chemical sampling into test flasks. Do not use this Viton unit with ketones, acetone, or concentrated ammonia solutions. Volatile ketones swell Viton elastomers and cause pressure leaks around the tap.
- Attach the ground wire to an earth grounding rod before dispensing flammable fluids
- Inspect the Viton tap seal for chemical softening before opening drum valves
- Depress the manual pressure relief valve to vent internal drum air before removal
