Siphon Pump 109PC
Beckson Specialty Transfer Pump
 |
Safety experts caution against the unsafe
practice of siphoning petroleum by mouth,
warning specially, that it can result in
loss of life. Beckson's answer is the patented
Siphon-Mate® pump; a combination displacement
lift pump and siphon pump with valves suitable
for transferring fuel. Pump half strokes
to start flow. Once flow begins, fully extending
the handle will allow siphoning provided
that the source is higher in elevation than
the receptacle. U.S. Patent USE FOR: DIESEL - OIL - WATER MODEL NO. 109PC LENGTH: 11-1/2" (28.4cm) DIAMETER: 1-1/4" (32mm) LIFTS: 4 oz (.12 L) per stroke Supplied with clear tubing to allow versatile application. Cut tubing for desired length of intake and discharge hose. When finished siphoning or pumping flammable liquids, be sure to drain siphon pump of liquid before storing. This pump not intended for transfer of liquid over 120°F (49'°C) nor solvents that will attack PVC. |
SAFETY USAGE GUIDE FOR FLAMMABLE LIQUIDS
FOR YOUR PROTECTION - DO NOT BE A STATISTIC
Please be careful. The major dangers in storing
or handling flammable liquids are those of
fire and explosion. Containers should be
grounded if made of conductive material and
should not be near sources of sparks, open
flames or hot surfaces. The container should
be kept in an area where spillage (liquid
or vapors) will not flow to an ignition source.
DO NOT ALLOW SMOKING IN THE AREA. Be sure
to provide adequate ventilation to prevent
concentration of fumes. Remember, fumes of
flammable liquids are highly explosive. Fire
extinguishers of proper type to handle Class
B fires and of proper size and quantity to
handle the potential hazard should be readily
available. Water is generally not suitable
as an extinguisher of a Class B fire. Ensure
means of safe disposal of any spillage before
transferring. Liquids should only be transferred
to an appropriate tank. If such a container
is conductive then it should be connected
to the container with a grounding strap to
prevent static electric spark. Guidelines
for handling flammable liquids can be obtained
