Liquid Hand Pump

Pumping liquids is as easy as opening and closing a faucet with this new low-cost, hand-operated transfer pump.
  The GoatThroatÖ pump attaches to any container from 2-gal. jugs to 55-gal. drums. It can be safely used with a wide variety of liquids, including fertilizers, pesticides, insecticides, fuels and chemicals.
  The hand pump pressurizes a container with a few strokes of the piston. Then you tap down on a "faucet" to dispense liquid in precise amounts, adjustable up to 4 1/2 gal. per minute.
  Three drum seals are provided with each pump, to fit and pressurize different size containers. Four siphon tube segments are provided and can be used singly or in combination. The siphon tubes adjust from 12 to 36 in. Additional tubes can be ordered, and tubes can easily be cut to length for use with custom container sizes.
  "Conventional methods using gravity transfer from drums stored on their sides can cause leaks and spills, whereas the GoatThroat's spill-proof æfaucet' keeps work areas clean and helps prevent spills," says Rebecca Scherer, with distributor Fred C. Gilbert Co., Bakersfield, Calif. "The unique air-pressure dispensing system allows containers to be completely drained while remaining in a safe, upright position. There's no need to risk turning a barrel on its side, or waste time and money cleaning up spills or overflows."
  Three pump models are available, each designed for use with specific liquids. Sells for $135 to $200 depending on the type of seal.
  An optional remote discharge, thumb-operated tap with extension hoses is also available. Sells for $50 to $75 depending on the seals and extension hose used.
  And an optional backpack sprayer kit lets you use the pump to apply fertilizers and pesticides to plants in greenhouses, fruit groves and fields. Sells for about $100.
