OverviewThe Premium Reversible Drum Vac System upgrades the EXAIR Reversible Drum Vac for fast, maintenance-free liquid transfer. The compressed-air operated pump fills a 55 gallon drum in under two minutes and, by turning a simple knob, reverses to empty the drum. The unit has no electrical components and no moving parts, reducing maintenance needs.
WarningDo not use with any material that has a low flash point or with flammable liquids such as fuel oil, alcohol, mineral spirits, gasoline or kerosene.

How It Works (summary)The flex hose attaches to the barbed connection on the Reversible Drum Vac. Set the pump knob to "fill" and open the air supply (recommended 80-100 PSIG / 5.5-6.9 BAR) to pull liquid through the hose into the drum. When full, turn off the air supply; the safety shut-off prevents overfilling. To empty, set the knob to "empty" and open the air supply to pump liquid back out through the hose. The system requires compressed air and has no electrical components.
