Little Giant VCMA-20ULST 115V Condensate Removal Pump — 80 GPH, 1/30 HP, Overflow Switch

The Little Giant VCMA-20ULST 115V condensate removal pump offers compact, reliable moisture management for air conditioners, dehumidifiers, and refrigeration gear. With an 80 GPH flow rate at a 1 foot lift and a 1/2 gallon condensate tank, this pump is designed for automatic drainage in spaces where gravity drainage is not practical. It ships with essential components to support flexible installation, including a 3/8 inch O.D. discharge with a built-in check valve, a 6 foot power cord, and a generous 20 feet of 3/8 inch ID vinyl tubing. The result is a self-contained solution that can help keep equipment and surroundings dry without constant attention.
