American Forge & Foundry Rotary DEF Pump (8076)

Description

The American Forge & Foundry Rotary DEF Pump (8076) is a specialized fluid transfer solution designed to handle Diesel Exhaust Fluid (DEF), AdBlue, and Urea with precision and reliability. Constructed from high-density polypropylene with polypropylene vanes, this pump is engineered for chemical compatibility and consistent performance in automotive and industrial settings. It efficiently draws fluid from 15 to 55-gallon drums, making it a versatile tool for various applications. The pump’s design focuses on ease of use and long-term functionality, ensuring that your DEF handling process is both clean and effective.

KEY FEATURES AND BENEFITS:

• Designed for DEF, AdBlue, and Urea: Ensures complete chemical compatibility and prevents contamination or degradation of these critical fluids.
• High-density polypropylene construction: Provides excellent resistance to the corrosive nature of DEF, contributing to the pump’s longevity and reliability.
• Precise fluid delivery: Delivers 1.3 gallons of fluid per 20 revolutions, allowing for controlled and accurate dispensing, minimizing waste.
• Versatile drum compatibility: The three-piece extension suction tube with strainer and included 2″ bung adapter accommodates standard 15 to 55-gallon drums, offering broad utility.
• Secure sealing: Features a Viton shaft seal and stainless steel fasteners for leak-free operation and enhanced durability in demanding environments.
• Built-in non-return valve: Positioned at the suction tube inlet to prevent backflow and maintain prime, ensuring efficient pumping with each use.

HOW TO USE:

1. Prepare the drum: Ensure the 15 to 55-gallon drum containing DEF, AdBlue, or Urea is stable and on a level surface.
2. Assemble suction tube: Connect the three-piece extension suction tube and strainer.
3. Attach pump to drum: Insert the suction tube into the drum and thread the appropriate 2″ bung adapter (for metal or plastic drums) onto the drum opening.
4. Secure pump: Mount the pump onto the bung adapter, ensuring it is tightly sealed to prevent leaks.
5. Prime the pump (if necessary): If it’s the first use or if the pump has been stored dry, a few initial revolutions of the handle may be needed to draw fluid up.
6. Dispense fluid: Rotate the pump handle clockwise or counter-clockwise (depending on the specific model’s directional flow) to begin dispensing fluid into your target container or vehicle.
7. Clean up: After use, wipe down any spills. While not strictly required for DEF, consider storing the pump in a clean, dry area to maintain its condition.
