Motor and drum compatibility
This Dayton 5UWF1 electric drum pump motor runs on 115 V AC single-phase power and draws 6.4 A at a 4/5 hp rating. It is built for 55 gal drums and pairs with pump tubes 5UWF3 through 5UWF6 for liquid transfer tasks.
Installation notes and common issues
The corded AC motor mounts directly on the compatible pump tube with no separate wiring harness required. Intermittent duty cycle means the motor must cool between runs; continuous operation will trip thermal limits. Explosion-proof rating is absent, so flammable liquids are not supported.
Capacity limits and headroom
The 10,000 RPM motor moves fluid from standard 55 gal drums at a 9 5/16 in height above the container. Intermittent duty and lack of thermal protection restrict extended transfer sessions. Plastic housing and TEFC enclosure suit general-purpose use but not hazardous environments.

Questions about this item
How can I verify the motor is running correctly after installation?

What comes in the box and what must I purchase separately?
The package includes the 4/5 hp TEFC motor with plastic housing and 9 5/16 in height; a compatible pump tube such as model 5UWF3, 5UWF4, 5UWF5 or 5UWF6 must be bought separately.
Which pump tube version should I choose for a 55 gal drum?
Select any of the listed tubes — 5UWF3, 5UWF4, 5UWF5 or 5UWF6 — that matches the fluid type and material compatibility you need; all fit the 55 gal drum and this motor.
