<h3>Rule Industries: Five Decades of Marine Pumping Excellence</h3> <p>Since 1965, Rule Industries has been a trusted name in marine solutions, setting the industry standard with high-performance submersible bilge pumps. As part of Xylem's portfolio of water technology brands, Rule has built an exceptional reputation among commercial fishermen, recreational boaters, and marine professionals who demand equipment that performs when it matters most. As marine technology developed, Rule stayed ahead, delivering pump systems that became the go-to choice for commercial fishermen and recreational boaters alike.</p> <p>Every boat owner faces the same challenge: water intrusion is inevitable. Whether from rain, splash-over, or slow leaks, managing bilge water is critical to vessel safety and longevity. That's where Rule's engineering expertise becomes essential. Rule pumps have built their reputation in the field—through storms, mechanical failures, and those high-pressure situations where reliable water removal is the difference between a close call and a catastrophe.</p> <h3>Comprehensive Marine Water Management Solutions</h3> <p>Rule's product lineup centers on one core mission: keeping vessels dry and operational in any condition. Their <a href="/6623-rule-industries-electric-bilge-pumps-200350">electric bilge pumps</a> form the foundation of this commitment, offering flow rates from 360 GPH to over 3800 GPH to match any vessel size and water accumulation challenge. These pumps feature marine-grade construction designed to withstand salt spray, temperature extremes, and constant moisture exposure that would quickly destroy lesser equipment.</p> <p>Understanding that automation is key to peace of mind on the water, Rule offers multiple control solutions. Their <a href="/6623-rule-industries-float-switches-200426">float switches</a> provide reliable automatic activation when water levels rise, eliminating the need for constant monitoring. For comprehensive vessel protection, Rule's <a href="/6623-rule-industries-bilge-pump-switches-alarms-200163">bilge pump switches and alarms</a> deliver layered safety systems that alert operators to water intrusion while automatically managing removal. Rule Automatic Bilge Pumps feature built-in sensors that check for water every 2.5 minutes, ensuring continuous protection without manual intervention.</p> <p>Beyond bilge management, Rule provides specialized solutions for other marine applications. Their <a href="/6623-rule-industries-air-pumps-adaptors-200078">air pumps and adaptors</a> support livewell systems critical for fishing operations, while their extensive range of <a href="/6623-rule-industries-plumbing-parts-accessories-200786">plumbing parts and accessories</a> ensures that complete fluid management systems can be built, maintained, and upgraded using Rule components.</p> <h3>Engineering That Stands Up to Marine Environments</h3> <p>Rule's commitment to quality and durability makes their pumps the first choice among do-it-yourselfers and professional installers alike. The brand's pumps undergo rigorous testing to ensure they deliver rated flow rates even under challenging conditions. Their cartridge-style pump designs allow for easy maintenance—when debris clogs the strainer or impeller, the motor cartridge can be quickly removed for cleaning and reinstalled, minimizing downtime.</p> <p>High-quality materials handle salt spray, temperature swings, and constant moisture without breaking down, designed to keep working in conditions that destroy lesser equipment. This durability translates to real-world reliability for boaters who need equipment they can count on when far from shore, facing rough seas, or leaving their vessels unattended.</p> <h3>Why Marine Professionals Choose Rule</h3> <p>Rule's position in the marine industry reflects decades of proven performance. The brand's pumps are specified by boat manufacturers, recommended by marine technicians, and chosen by vessel owners who understand that bilge pump failure isn't just an inconvenience—it's a serious safety risk. From small recreational craft to larger commercial vessels, Rule provides scalable solutions backed by widespread availability through marine dealers and distributors worldwide.</p> <p>Whether you're replacing a worn pump, upgrading to automatic operation, or building a new vessel, Rule Industries delivers the marine pumping technology that keeps boats dry, protected, and ready for whatever conditions they encounter on the water.</p>

Product Details

The Rule Industries IL500PK iL500 Plus Pump Kit is a compact, versatile 12-volt submersible and inline pump designed for a wide range of marine fluid-transfer tasks. Capable of delivering up to 500 GPH (7 gallons per minute) at 14 PSI, this slim-profile pump fits into openings as narrow as 1-1/2" in diameter, making it ideal for hard-to-reach bilges, fuel tanks, and tight onboard spaces.

The pump handles diesel fuel, fresh water, and salt water with equal efficiency. Its acetal body construction is corrosion-resistant and durable in harsh marine environments. With 3/4" hose ports on both ends, the IL500PK can be used fully submerged or converted to an inline configuration — simply snap off the clip-on strainer to attach a hose at the inlet port.

Key Features:

  • Flow rate up to 500 GPH / 7 GPM at 14 PSI; pumps up to 32 feet of head
  • Compatible with diesel fuel, fresh water, and salt water — no spillage during diesel transfer
  • Dual-mode operation: fully submersible or inline with 3/4" I.D. hose ports
  • Slimline body (6-1/2" length x 1-1/2" diameter) fits into narrow openings
  • Rated for continuous duty — do not run dry for extended periods
  • Operates on 12 volts DC at a maximum of 6 amps; connects to any 12V source via included battery clips
  • Clip-on/clip-off strainer for flexible submersible or inline use
  • CE marked for quality and safety compliance

  • Acetal body pump (6-1/2" length x 1-1/2" diameter)
  • 10-foot tinned wire with battery clamps
  • Lay-flat discharge hose
  • Spray nozzle
