Product Description

Beckson Siphon-Mate Transfer Pump Safety experts caution against the unsafe practice of siphoning petroleum by mouth, warning specially, that it can result in loss of life. Beckson's answer is the patented Siphon-Mate? pump; a combination displacement lift pump and siphon pump with valves suitable for transferring fuel. Pump half strokes to start flow. Once flow begins, fully extending the handle will allow siphoning provided that the source is higher in elevation than the receptacle. U.S. Patent USE FOR: DIESEL, OIL, WATER 11-1/2" (28.4cm) Long LIFTS: 4 oz (.12 L) per stroke Supplied with clear tubing to allow versatile application. Cut tubing for desired length of intake and discharge hose. When finished siphoning or pumping flammable liquids, be sure to drain siphon pump of liquid before storing. This pump not intended for transfer of liquid over 120?F nor solvents that will attack PVC.

This review is from: Beckson 109PC Siphon-Mate Specialty Transfer Pump (Misc.)

I am very pleased with this product. First I got it quickly and it was very safely packed. But most important it worked exactly as it should. I placed the tip of the siphon cylinder in the patio fountain that needed draining, anchored the open end of the plastic tube below the bottom of the fountain with a brick, and pulled the handle all the way to the top. The water started to drain immediately. There was a bit of air in the flow, easily seen through the clear tube, so I pumped down then back up all the way and the water filled the tube completely. I then set the siphon carefully down and walked away. Thirty-something minutes later the fountain only had a quarter-inch of water left. I'm very pleased. I won't use this more than every month or two, but the siphon seems reasonably sturdy and I believe it will last me for years.

I have had to use this pump a couple of times when the gas cans were empty and I didn't want to drive 10 miles to get gasoline just to finish the lawn. It is simple to use and works great

I've used this about 10 times and I'm pleased that it doesn't leak. It's all heavy plastic and is well-made. I wanted a very long hose to fill a container above my head and it was easy enough to tug the original hose loose and replace it with one from Home Depot. And I'm surprised at the good volume of liquid it moves.
