This National Spencer 5500 hand-operated lever action pump is made with a stainless steel body and PTFE (polytetrafluoroethylene) inner components for resistance to chemicals and corrosion, and is suitable for dispensing viscous liquids, detergents, most acids, oils, waxes, alkalis, water, and soaps. It has a 1" inlet port and a 3/4" outlet port. This pump can deliver a maximum of 5 gallons of liquid per minute (gpm) with a maximum viscosity of 650 centipoise (cps). It comes with a 33" suction tube and a 2" bung adapter. This high-viscosity lever action drum pump is suitable for dispensing liquids from 15, 30, and 55 gallon drums in a wide range of industrial and commercial applications.

Pumps use mechanical action to move liquids, gases, or slurries (solids suspended in a liquid or gas). The mechanical action is categorized as either positive displacement (PD) or kinetic. PD pumps capture and release discrete amounts of flow into a chamber and then force it out. Some examples of PD pumps are fuel and oil pumps in cars, pumps in hydraulic systems, and bicycle pumps. Kinetic pumps move liquids, gases, or slurries by transferring energy from the pump's movement to the flow. They use an impeller to draw the flow in, add energy to the flow, and move it through a volute (a spiral funnel through which the flow moves), and into the system. Some examples of kinetic pumps include centrifugal (the most common pump in industrial applications), in-line pumps, sump pumps, and suction pumps. Energy sources for all types of pumps include wind power, manual operation, electricity, and gasoline or diesel fuel.
Action Pump manufactures drum and pail pumps and grease, oil, and lubrication products. The company, founded in 1981, is headquartered in Cary, IL.
