<h3>Rule Industries: The Gold Standard in Marine Water Management</h3><p><strong>Rule Industries</strong> has been synonymous with marine pump reliability since 1965. Founded when inventor Clinton Rule set out to solve the all-too-common problem of a leaky boat, the brand grew from a single innovative product into the world's most recognized name in submersible bilge pumps. Today, Rule operates under the Xylem family of water technology brands, but its identity — and its commitment to keeping vessels dry and boaters safe — remains as focused as ever.</p><p>For over five decades, Rule has set the industry benchmark in marine water management. Whether you're a weekend recreational boater, a tournament angler, or a commercial vessel operator, Rule's engineering philosophy is straightforward: build equipment that performs when it matters most. That reputation has earned Rule a place on the spec sheets of boat builders around the globe, with professionals and DIYers alike reaching for the Rule name when reliability is non-negotiable.</p><h3>Electric Bilge Pumps: Rule's Flagship Product</h3><p>The heart of the Rule lineup is its range of <a href="/6623-rule-industries-electric-bilge-pumps-200350">electric bilge pumps</a>. Available in both manual and automatic configurations, Rule bilge pumps are engineered to remove water from the lowest point of a boat's bilge efficiently and reliably. Automatic models feature water-sensing switches that activate the pump as needed, offering hands-free protection without draining the battery. Heavy-duty models incorporate stainless steel shafts, marine-grade blocked wiring, and ignition protection, while the Gold Series pumps are backed by a five-year guarantee — a testament to Rule's confidence in its own craftsmanship.</p><h3>Livewell &amp; Aerator Pumps for Serious Anglers</h3><p>Rule's expertise in water movement extends naturally into the fishing world. The brand's <a href="/6623-rule-industries-livewell-aerator-pumps-200624">livewell and aerator pumps</a> are engineered to circulate and oxygenate water in livewells and baitwells, keeping catch and live bait healthy throughout a long day on the water. Rule's Oxygenator Systems infuse air at the pump impeller to produce micro-fine bubbles that remain suspended longer, maximizing oxygen transfer to your bait or catch. The Tournament Series models feature a cartridge-style motor design that can be removed and replaced quickly — even mid-trip — keeping downtime to a minimum.</p><h3>Blowers, Plumbing &amp; Accessories</h3><p>Rule rounds out its marine offering with a suite of supporting products that complement its pump lineup. The brand's <a href="/6623-rule-industries-blowers-200176">bilge blowers</a> provide ventilation for engine compartments, bilges, galleys, and heads, featuring corrosion-resistant motor housings, front and rear shaft seals, and USCG 183.410 ignition-protection compliance. For system builders and installers, Rule also offers <a href="/6623-rule-industries-plumbing-parts-accessories-200786">plumbing parts and accessories</a> along with <a href="/6623-rule-industries-nylon-pipe-hose-fittings-200724">nylon pipe and hose fittings</a> — the connective tissue that ties a complete marine plumbing system together. With a catalog spanning over 135 products, Rule gives boaters everything they need to build, maintain, and upgrade their vessel's water management systems from a single trusted source.</p><h3>Why Boaters Trust Rule</h3><ul style="list-style:disc"><li>Over 60 years of continuous marine pump manufacturing since 1965</li><li>Submersible bilge pump designs trusted by boat builders from the factory</li><li>Automatic and manual models to suit every vessel type and size</li><li>Products engineered to meet rigorous commercial and recreational standards</li><li>Part of the Xylem global water technology portfolio</li><li>Wide availability through marine dealers across the US, Canada, Australia, UK, and beyond</li></ul>

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

Kit Includes:

  • 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

Common Applications:

  • Diesel fuel transfer and tank draining
  • Water transfer and deck washdown
  • Deck showers and baitwell aeration
  • Bilge pump-out in tight spaces
  • Dinghy pump-out and sink draining
  • Engine winterizing
