Description
Empty utility meter pits, valve boxes, and irrigation trenches with portable ease. The Reed Mfg Pump Stick Water Transfer tool package provides instant de-watering in tight spaces. A cordless drill or power head turns the internal drive shaft. The 15-GPM output slows down when lifting mud slurries containing heavy pea gravel.
Impact-resistant aluminum tubing forms the 38-inch main suction body to endure worksite impacts. Stainless steel drive shafts spin inside sealed bronze bushings to resist abrasive sand wear. The bottom intake houses a durable nylon impeller that passes mud particles without jamming. Threaded discharge ports hook straight to standard garden hoses. Universal drive chucks mate with standard half-inch cordless drills.
Portable Stick Pump Features
Plumbing technicians and utility crews drain cramped meter boxes without bulky gas pumps. The slender tube reaches down deep pipes to remove standing water.
- Universal half-inch drive adapter connects to standard commercial cordless drills
- Submersible stick design pumps 15 GPM to drain small pits within minutes
- Aluminum structural shaft resists jobsite impacts and corrosion from ditch water
- Bottom intake plate draws water down within 1 inch of pit bottoms
- Internal stainless steel drive shaft resists bending under heavy torque loads
- Standard 3/4-inch garden hose fitting discharges water away from the excavation
- Slender 1.5-inch outer diameter reaches into cramped water valve access sleeves
Mechanical Dyno Bench Data
Dyno testing confirms the drive shaft requires 45 inch-pounds of torque at 1800 RPM drill speed. Water flow measures 14.2 GPM across a 5-foot static head using a 3/4-inch discharge hose. Drive shaft bushings stabilize at 112°F after 30 minutes of continuous pumping. Acoustic meters record 64 dBA at the operator hand position.
Field Application Operator Boundaries
You slide this stick pump into tight meter boxes with one hand while operating your cordless drill. The lightweight frame prevents shoulder strain during continuous ditch work. Do not run this pump dry on concrete surfaces for extended periods. Operating the nylon impeller dry against rough surfaces melts the bottom intake plate.
- Inspect the bottom intake plate for packed leaves before inserting into holes
- Rinse the internal shaft with clean water after pumping sand-heavy slurry
- Lubricate the drive shaft connection chuck with grease once a month
