Submersible utility pump
The Dayton 3YU61 is a submersible utility pump designed to move water in residential and light commercial settings. It operates on 115V AC power and includes a 10 ft power cord for flexible placement. A 1/12 hp motor drives a Buna-N impeller inside a plastic housing. The unit is self-priming and rated for a maximum suction lift of 6 ft.
Best for occasional dewatering
This pump suits homeowners draining window wells, flooded basements or pool covers where flow rates up to 5 gpm at 10 ft of head are sufficient. It is not suited for continuous high-volume transfer, applications exceeding 43 ft of total head or fluids requiring chemical-resistant materials beyond Buna-N and plastic.
3/4 in garden-hose connections
Both intake and discharge use 3/4 in connections, with the intake configured as male garden-hose thread (MGHT) and the discharge as a hose barb. Verify that your hose fittings match these exact sizes before purchase.

Questions about this item
How long can the 1/12 hp motor run continuously before thermal protection trips?
The 1/12 hp motor is designed for continuous-duty operation; thermal overload protection will only engage if the pump runs dry or the discharge is blocked, so it can run all day as long as water is flowing.
What sound level and heat output should I expect when the pump runs for hours?
The small plastic-housing utility pump runs quietly with a low hum and the motor stays warm but not hot during extended use because the 1/12 hp draw at 115 V AC produces minimal waste heat.
Which hose and fittings do I need to connect the 3/4 in MGHT intake and 3/4 in hose discharge?
You need a standard 3/4 in garden-hose thread fitting for the intake and a 3/4 in inside-diameter discharge hose with a hose-barb or clamp connection; no proprietary adapters are required.
