APACALI 55 Gallon Drum Pump - Manual Lever-Action, 52in Reach, Polypropylene with Debris Filter

APACALI 55 Gallon Drum Pump is a manual lever-action barrel pump designed to quickly transfer liquids from 5–55 gallon drums with durable PP construction and a built-in debris filter.

This lever-operated drum pump offers a straightforward, tool-free way to move fluids such as motor oil, diesel, kerosene, lubricants, water and many other liquids from barrels and drums. With a 52-inch total length and a 35-inch inlet tube, it reaches deep into most standard containers while delivering steady output through ergonomic manual action. Built from high-strength polypropylene, the pump resists chemical attack and impact, making it suitable for workshops, farms, garages and small industrial settings.

How much fluid can this pump move and how fast?

The APACALI drum pump delivers a dependable manual flow rated at approximately 28 liters per minute when operated at normal lever speed. Speed will vary depending on liquid viscosity and operator rhythm; thin fluids like water flow faster than heavy oils. Because it is manually powered, you control the rate to avoid splashing and overflows.

• Pumping efficiency: about 28 L/min under typical conditions
• Total pump length: 52 inches for deep-drum reach
• Oil inlet/tube length: 35 inches to fit standard drums
• Adjustable flow by varying lever speed and stroke

Which liquids is the pump compatible with?

This plastic lever pump is compatible with a broad range of non-corrosive and many mildly corrosive liquids. Common uses include transferring motor oil, diesel, kerosene, gear oil, fuels, water, alcohol and several food-grade or viscous liquids when hygiene and cross-contamination are managed. Avoid strong acids, strong oxidizers, and solvents that attack polypropylene.

• Suitable: motor oil, diesel, lubricants, kerosene, gear oil, fuel, water, alcohol
• Also used for: cooking oil, glycerin, diluted beverages and other non-corrosive fluids
• Not recommended: strong acids, strong bases, or aggressive solvents
• Built-in filter reduces debris intake and clogging risk

How easy is it to install and use the lever-action pump?

The pump is designed for fast assembly and straightforward operation without tools. Most users can install it in under two minutes: insert the inlet tube into the drum, secure the collar, and start pumping with the ergonomic lever handle. The lever is shaped to reduce hand strain and increase mechanical advantage for extended use.

• Quick assembly: under two minutes, tool-free
• Ergonomic lever handle for comfortable grip and less fatigue
• Disassembles easily for transport and storage
• Includes integrated debris filter for cleaner transfer
