Description
Transfer motor oil, gear lube, and hydraulic fluid between bulk storage totes. The Fill-Rite Electric Diaphragm Oil Transfer pump package moves viscous fluids through positive displacement action. A 115-volt electric motor turns an internal santoprene diaphragm assembly. The 13-GPM flow rate drops when pumping heavy 90-weight gear lube in sub-zero winter temperatures.
Cast aluminum forms the pump body, coated in corrosion-resistant industrial enamel paint. Buna-N seals and santoprene diaphragms resist chemical degradation from petroleum hydrocarbons. Thermal overload protection built into the 0.25-horsepower motor stops electrical coil burnout under continuous duty. A bung adapter mounts straight into standard 55-gallon oil drum bungs. Threaded 1-inch NPT ports connect standard fluid transfer piping.
Diaphragm Oil System Specifications
Fleet mechanics drain vehicle sumps and fill hydraulic reservoirs without hand pumping. The electric diaphragm mechanism handles viscous petroleum products without motor stall issues.
- Single-phase 115-volt motor provides dependable drive for high-viscosity oil pumping
- Positive displacement diaphragm moves 13 GPM of medium weight engine oils
- Santoprene diaphragm material resists degradation from synthetic motor lubricants
- Thermal overload protector shuts off motor power before field coils overheat
- Threaded 2-inch bung adapter secures the pump housing straight onto steel drums
- Internal pressure bypass valve stops line overpressure when dispensing nozzles close
- One-inch NPT fluid ports maintain steady flow across long delivery hose lines
Motor Dyno Load Telemetry
Dyno testing indicates the motor draws 2.8 Amps on 115-volt lines under continuous 15 PSI head pressure. Pumping 30-weight oil at 70°F yields a steady 12.4 GPM fluid discharge rate. Motor frame temperatures stabilize at 134°F after 90 minutes of continuous transfer duty. Acoustic telemetry shows 68 dBA at 2 meters from the pump body.
Operational Boundaries Field Realities
You secure this pump into barrel bungs with standard spanner wrenches. The compact motor profile fits under standard lubricant dispensing racks. Do not pump gasoline, alcohol, or volatile solvents through this unit. The electric motor and internal components lack explosion-proof ratings and will ignite volatile fuel vapors.
- Inspect the inlet strainer screen for metal shavings before threading into drums
- Check electrical cord insulation for cuts from shop machinery wheels
- Purge remaining oil from hoses before moving the pump between fluid types
Factory Warranty Complete Terms
Fill-Rite backs this electric transfer pump with a 2-Year limited manufacturer warranty. The factory package contains the 115-volt electric diaphragm pump, 2-inch bung adapter, telescoping suction pipe, dispense hose, and installation guide.
