Plug-In Utility Pump 1/4 HP 110V
The Rule Plug-In Utility Pump is a 1/4 horsepower unit rated for 110V AC at 60 Hz. It features a Valox plastic body with a glass-filled nylon impeller and a Buna-N PTFE shaft seal. Thermal protection is built in for motor safety.
Upgrading from manual or lower-capacity pumps
This pump replaces manual bailing or smaller electric pumps that cannot match its flow rates. At 5 ft of head it delivers 21 gpm, falling to 12 gpm at 10 ft of head with a maximum head of 15 ft. The jump is worth it when automatic sensor actuation and higher volume removal are required.
Suits boats needing automatic dewatering up to 15
It suits vessels requiring automatic water removal where discharge is 1 1/8 in and liquid temperature stays below 104 Degrees F. It handles solids up to 3/32 in diameter. Buyers who need more storage capacity for solids or higher temperature tolerance should look at something else.

Questions about this item
What discharge hose size fits the 1-1/8 in outlet on this pump?
Use a hose with a 1-1/8 in inner diameter; secure it with a clamp so the connection stays watertight under the 15 ft maximum head pressure.
How is the Switch Actuation Sensor positioned during installation, and what common mistake causes it to fail?
Mount the pump so the sensor remains vertical and free of debris; the most frequent error is letting sediment or a tilted mount block the sensor, which stops the pump from starting automatically.
Which internal parts should be inspected or replaced after extended use?
Check the Buna-N and PTFE shaft seal plus the glass-filled nylon impeller for wear; replace them if flow drops below the 12 gpm at 10 ft head or 21 gpm at 5 ft head ratings.
