Standard’s Drum Pumps are designed to
transfer a variety of materials from 55 gallon
drums and tanks. Standard Pump offers
several different pumps, each designed
for specific applications. Before operating,
please confirm that the pump’s materials of
construction are suitable for the application.
Unpacking
Cartons should be handled with care to avoid
damage from dropping, etc. After unpacking,
inspect carefully for any damage that may
have occurred during transit. Check for loose,
damaged or missing parts.
General Safety Information
The responsibility for safe assembly,
installation, and operation ultimately rests
with the operator. Read and understand ALL
safety precautions and operating instructions
before operation. Careless pump operation
can result in serious injury.
1. Before operating the pump, read and
understand these operating instructions.
2. The operator should wear suitable
protective clothing including the
following: face mask, safety shield or
goggles, gloves, apron, and safety
shoes.
3. Before operating, verify the materials
being pumped are compatible with the
pump’s “wetted components."
4. All Federal, State, and local safety codes
should be followed.
5. Verify that the motor voltage
corresponds to proper electrical supply.
6. Before plugging motor into power
supply, make sure the motor switch is in
the OFF position. For Air Motors ensure
inlet valve is closed before attaching air
line.
7. Before operation, confirm all pump
connections are properly tightened.
8. First pump clean water in order to
familiarize yourself with the pump’s
operation, flow rate, discharge pressure
and motor speed.
9. Before starting the pump, confirm the
discharge hose is securely fastened to
the receiving vessel in order to prevent
splashing.
10. Never leave pump unattended during
operation.
11. Do not submerge the motor in any liquid.
12. When finished using the pump, flush
the pump by pumping water or an
appropriate cleaning solution. Do not
use flammable or combustible cleaning
solutions.
13. Never carry the motor by the power
cord.
14. Never store pump in container. Always
rinse pump thoroughly and hang on wall
bracket or ensure pump tube is stored in
an upright and vertical position.
When pumping
flammable or
combustible products or operating in a
hazardous duty environment, the SP-AL
or SP-SS Series pump must be used in
conjunction with an explosion proof
motor. Please contact the factory or an
authorized distributor with any questions
regarding this matter.
flammable or
combustible products or operating in a
hazardous duty environment, the
SP-8600, SP-8700, SP-8800, SP-8900,
SP-AL or SP-SS Series pump must be
used in conjunction with an explosion
proof motor. Please contact the factory
or an authorized distributor with any
questions regarding this matter.
SP-420 EX & SP-A1 Series
When operating in Hazardous Duty
applications SP-420EX or SP-A1 must
be used in conjunction with an SP-SS,
SP-AL, SP-8600 or SP-8800 Series pump
and properly bonded and grounded. Refer
to the Motor specification chart for motor
information.
Special Conditions for
Safety Use
• Only for conductive liquids (gases groups IIA
and IIB).
• The flashpoint for the flammable media
shall be 50°C higher than the maximum
temperature T4 (135°C).
• The SP-AL versions may not be used in an
area where rusty particles or rusty iron is
present.
• The tube shall regular be inspected for
damage and corrosions. If there is any
damage or corrosions the equipment and the
tube shall be taken out of service.
• The grounding clamp and wire on the pump
shall be connected to the liquid container
before and after pump start.
• The pumps must not be exposed to pumping
hard solid particles which can create sparks.
• Demands for inspections, maintenance and
repair according to the instructions.
• The pump is only for hand held operation and
may not be running dry.
• The SP-AL version may only be used with
the PTFE impeller parts no. 2706 and
4608HH.
Drum Pump Installation
SP-410EX
• Install the Pump and Static Protection Kit as
described in Figure 2 on page 7.
• Connect Ground Wire assembly to earth
ground using supplied clamp.
• Connect Ground Wire between drum and
earth ground.
• Connect Ground Wire between receiving
container and earth ground (or use bonding
wire to connect to drum).
Check electrical
continuity of all
components before pumping. All should
be one (1) ohm or less.
Operation and Safety
Guidelines
• Use only metallic pump tubes with
explosion proof motors to transfer
flammable or combustible liquids.
• Area for use must comply with NFPA 30
guidelines for safe storage and use of
flammable and combustible liquids.
• All containers and other equipment must be
metal and grounded.
• Follow NGPA 77 guidelines for control of
static electricity.
• Avoid splashing. Splash filling can create
static electricity and is extremely hazardous.
• Fluid velocity must be 3 feet/second (0.91
meters/second) maximum 7 GPM in 1"
hose (26.5 LPM in 25 mm hose).
Use Of Air Motors In
Hazardous Atmospheres
SP-A1 Series & SP-A2 Series
At the present time, there are no known
standards governing the operation of air
motors in hazardous atmospheres. However,
there are several points regarding the safety
of air motors.
First of all, an air motor is not a source of
electric sparks. However, it is possible that
an article which is not part of the air motor
(e.g., wrenches, hammers, etc.) could create
a spark by sharply impacting a cast iron or
aluminum case or the steel shaft of the air
motor. (Note that electric motor enclosures
for both class I and II hazardous locations
can be made of “...iron, steel, copper, bronze,
or aluminum..." (UL 674, Electric Motors and
Generators – Hazardous Locations, June 23,
1989; paragraph 4.2, page 6).Second, an air
motor housing is not designed to contain an
internal explosion as is an explosion-proof
electric motor. The only possible internal
source of ignition in an air motor is a contact
between the station housing components
and the rotating elements that might create
a spark. The likelihood of this occurring is
reduced by the fact that the contact must
be made at precisely the same time as a
flammable or explosive gas is introduced
into the air motor in a sufficient quantity to
achieve a flammable or explosive mixture
while overcoming the positive pressure of
the driving gas. In other words, although
highly improbable, an internal explosion in an
air motor is possible. Finally, an air motor is
designed to be operated by compressed air,
the expansion of which in normal operation
creates a cooling effect. As a result, the
temperature of the air motor will not exceed
the height of the temperatures of the
surrounding atmosphere or the air delivered
to the inlet.
We do not guarantee the safety of every
application, but to ensure the safe operation
of an air motor in your application, always
follow the product direction and consult
with a qualified engineer. (Source: Gast
Manufacturing, Air Motors Handbook, page
2) Note: This statement is only applicable in
North America.
When using an SP-A1
or SP-A2 Series motor,
Standard Pump recommends the use of a
Filter Lubricator Regulator (FLR) in order
to ensure a moisture free supply of air to
the motor.
SP-A1 and SP-A2
Series motors must be
lubricated daily to ensure proper
functionality
Grounding Procedures
Transferring of
flammables or use in
hazardous duty. Bonding is an electrical
connection between a primary metal vessel
and a metal receiving vessel. See schematic.
Grounding is an electrical connection
between a metal vessel, pump, motor and a
constant ground; i.e. a metal rod driven into
the earth.
Bonding and grounding are required when
pumping flammable materials or in hazardous
duty environments. Failure to bond and
ground properly can cause a discharge of
static electricity resulting in fire, injury or
death. Follow NFPA 77 and 30 procedures
at all times. If in doubt, do not start pump!
Be sure bonding and grounding wires are
secure before starting operation. (Ground
and bond wires must have less than one ohm
resistance for safe usage. Check continuity
before starting). Always check with a safety
engineer when any question arises and
periodically check safety procedures with a
safety engineer (see Figure 2, page 7).
