PUMP, Acid, Pneumatic, Thompson—A perfected device for the safe and easy handling of acids and other liquids contained in carboys, barrels, and steel drums. The bulb is squeezed, forcing air into container through the valves; this in turn forces the liquid out through the lead pipe which reaches to the bottom of the container. To stop the flow, the relief valve is pressed upward, which permits the air to escape. The lead overflow pipe has no connection with the valve body, and when withdrawn no acid remains in it. It also serves as a gauge, showing the amount of acid left in the container. The capacity of the pump is approximately 2 gallons per minute, which, however, can be increased by squeezing the bulb more rapidly. When used in drums Adapter No. 54811 is required to fit the larger opening. When not in use, pump can hung on bracket.
Rubber Adapter, only.
PUMP, Air, Vacuum or Pressure—Cylinder is steel, nickel plated, 16 inches long by 2 1/8 inches diameter. Complete with inlet and outlet valves and hose connections.
