Dip tubes

A dip tube offers a suction side solution for drum pumps. The rigid tube can be extended to suit the height of the drum. It also maintains this height and you will always have the suction at the bottom of the drum. Two cutouts on the side of the tube near the bottom mean that fuel, oil or water is drawn in just above the base of the drum to prevent rust and other sediment being sucked into the pump. These drum dip tubes come with 1" BSP threads and can be screwed in to many pumps. We advise using only quality items like the ones seen here as the seals on the telescopic segments need to be tight to assist pump priming and prevent pump cavitation.
Dip tubes allow pumps to draw liquid directly from drums and containers during fluid transfer.
Select a dip tube based on drum depth, pump compatibility and the liquid being transferred.
Some models can be adjusted or trimmed according to the manufacturer's instructions.
It improves fluid pickup while helping reduce contamination and spills.
Flush with a compatible cleaning solution before changing between different fluids.
