Sensor-Actuated Utility Pump
The Dayton 2VAN7 is a plug-in utility pump rated at 1/4 HP and 120V AC for residential or light-commercial drainage tasks. Its built-in sensor switch actuates automatically, removing the need for a separate float or manual operation.
20-Foot Maximum Head
The pump delivers 30 gpm at 5 ft of head, 22 gpm at 10 ft, and 12 gpm at 15 ft, with flow stopping at the 20 ft maximum head. Select this model only if your discharge point falls within that head range.
Low-Current Single-Phase Operation
The single-phase motor draws 2.5 amps at 60 Hz while running, keeping power demand modest for standard household circuits. A Buna-N, ceramic and stainless-steel shaft seal helps maintain a reliable seal during continuous or intermittent cycling.

Questions about this item
How much water does the 1/4 HP motor actually move at a typical 10-foot lift?
At 10 feet of head the pump delivers 22 gallons per minute, so a standard basement sump can be cleared quickly during heavy rain.
What does the 120 V 60 Hz single-phase rating mean for outlet compatibility?
It plugs straight into a regular North American household receptacle and draws 2.5 amps, requiring no special wiring or dedicated circuit.
Will the 6-inch body fit inside my existing 6 3/4-inch sump pit?
Yes, the pump body is 6 inches wide and the minimum pit diameter is 6 3/4 inches, leaving enough clearance for the sensor switch to operate freely.
