Submersible 12 V Utility Pump
The Rule IL280P is a 12-volt DC submersible pump built for marine and potable water systems. It draws 4.5 amps and delivers a maximum flow of 5 gallons per minute. The unit handles water or diesel up to 176 degrees Fahrenheit and includes a 13-foot power cord with clamp connections.
32-Foot Maximum Head
This pump produces up to 32 feet of head at 7 psi maximum discharge pressure. That single figure determines whether it can overcome the vertical lift and friction loss in your specific plumbing run. If your application requires more head, this model will not meet the demand.
Barbed Half-Inch Connections
Both intake and discharge ports accept half-inch barbed fittings for simple hose installation. The acetal body resists corrosion in freshwater and diesel environments. The pump requires a 12-volt DC supply capable of 4.5 amps and frees you from manual priming thanks to its submersible design.

Questions about this item
What does the 5 GPM flow rate mean when the pump is running in a real system?
The pump can move up to 5 gallons per minute at open discharge; actual flow drops as hose length, fittings or head pressure increase.
How does the 12 V DC / 4.5 A electrical interface limit what power sources can be used?
It requires a 12 V DC supply capable of at least 4.5 amps, such as a marine battery or regulated converter; lower-voltage or current-limited sources will not run the motor.
What hose size and mounting clearance does the 1/2-inch barbed connection need?
Use 1/2-inch I.D. hose secured with clamps on both intake and discharge; the submersible body fits through openings large enough for its diameter and rests on the tank bottom.
