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. SPECIFICATIONS: Model: 8076 Body color: White Rotor material: Polypropylene Handle material: 40% glass-filled polypropylene Shaft seal: Viton Fasteners: Stainless steel Non-return valve: Yes (at suction tube inlet) Bung adapter: 2” for metal drum, adapter for plastic drum Wetted components: Polypropylene, Ryton, Viton, stainless steel Ship weight: 5 lbs. Included: Three-piece extension suction tube with strainer, 2" bung adapter HOW TO USE: Prepare the drum: Ensure the 15 to 55-gallon drum containing DEF, AdBlue, or Urea is stable and on a level surface. Assemble suction tube: Connect the three-piece extension suction tube and strainer. 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. Secure pump: Mount the pump onto the bung adapter, ensuring it is tightly sealed to prevent leaks. 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. 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. 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. BENEFITS OF USING AMERICAN FORGE & FOUNDRY ROTARY DEF PUMP (8076): Optimized chemical compatibility guarantees safe handling of Diesel Exhaust Fluid, preserving its purity and effectiveness. Enhanced operational efficiency delivers a consistent volume of fluid per revolution, making it easy to manage transfer tasks. Reduced spills and waste due to the precise flow rate and secure drum connection. Extended product lifespan thanks to construction with materials resistant to DEF, ensuring the pump withstands regular use without degradation. Adaptable for various needs, with easy integration into common drum sizes used in automotive shops and industrial settings. Simple and reliable manual rotary action offers straightforward use without the need for external power sources.
