BALLCRANK MODEL 1300-022

This pump is designed specifically for petroleum-based products (such as motor oils, gear oils, and hydraulic fluids) and antifreeze. It should not be used with water, aggressive solvents, or chemicals that may react with cast iron, as the pump body is heavy cast iron construction.

The telescoping tube assembly allows the pump to fit drums ranging from 5 to 55 gallons, provided the drum has a standard 2-inch bung opening. This makes it versatile enough for both small and large containers without needing a separate pump for each size.

The discharge spout has standard 3/4" NPT male threads, so you will need a hose or fitting with a 3/4" NPT female connection. This is a common thread size, making compatible hoses and nozzles widely available.

The pump delivers approximately 1 gallon per 12 revolutions of the handle. For example, pumping a full 55-gallon drum would require roughly 660 revolutions, which is useful to know when planning manual transfer tasks or comparing to powered alternatives.

The product is specified for petroleum-based products and antifreeze; synthetic oils that are petroleum-based in origin are generally compatible, but the manufacturer's data does not explicitly list transmission fluids or fully synthetic formulations. If you are unsure about a specific fluid, check with American Lubrication before use.

The pump inserts through a standard 2-inch bung opening and the telescoping tube adjusts to the drum depth, so no special tools or drum modifications are needed for drums in the 5 to 55 gallon range. The discharge spout uses standard 3/4" NPT male threads for easy hose attachment.
