Geiser Bilge Pump 12 V – code: 16.292.12 – Osculati

Geiser 12 V bilge pump Osculati (code 16.292.12)

The Geiser 12 V bilge pump by Osculati, identified by code 16.292.12, it is a solution designed for onboard systems where robust components suitable for the nautical environment are needed. The construction combines selected materials to withstand shocks and stresses typical of use on a boat, with a practical configuration for installation and routine maintenance.

The product is supplied complete with filter and features a design focused on protection and durability: stainless steel plates, parts in impact-resistant plastic and nylon and rubber components made of special rubberized fabric indicated as resistant to various substances. It is also declared waterproof according to ISO 8846, a characteristic that allows installation even in contexts such as the engine compartment (as stated in the manufacturer's description).

Features and construction details

This bilge pump is designed with a “marine” approach: materials and finishes are chosen to offer reliability in humid environments subject to splashes, vibrations, and continuous use. Below are the main elements listed for the model 12 V:

Materials

• Stainless steel plates.
• Parts in impact-resistant plastic and nylon.
• Rubber parts in special rubberized fabric indicated as resistant to any substance (as per description).

Sealing and installation

• Waterproof according to ISO 8846 (indicated as installable in the engine compartment).
• Complete with filter, useful for retaining impurities and reducing debris entry into the circuit.

Main data (12 V version)

The specifications available for this variant are as follows:

• Power Supply: 12 V
• Current consumption: 8 A
• Max flow rate: 18 l/min
• Head: 10 m
• Inlet/outlet ports: 3/4” (19 mm)

Spare parts

For maintenance, a replacement membrane/gasket with code 16.292.00. is recommended. This reference is useful for scheduling restoration interventions and keeping the pump efficient over time.

Typical onboard applications

The bilge pump is a central component in managing liquids on board and, in general, in nautical systems. The Geiser 12 V model can be used in various configurations, depending on the existing system and onboard needs, for example:

• Bilge: management and transfer of water present in collection compartments.
• Maintenance and services: use in emptying or transfer operations where a dedicated and stably installable pump is required.
• Systems in technical spaces: installations in areas where component protection and sealing are important requirements, as indicated by declared compliance with ISO 8846.

The presence of filter supplied and particularly useful in applications where small impurities may be present, typical of bilge compartments and drainage circuits.

Operational advantages

Structure oriented towards robustness

The stainless steel plates and parts in impact-resistant plastic/nylon these are choices consistent with use in a marine environment, where accidental impacts, vibrations, and handling during maintenance are frequent.

Rubber components with rubberized fabric

The presence of rubber parts made of special rubberized fabric (described as resistant to various substances) is a useful detail for those looking for a component suitable for variable operational contexts and in contact with liquids typical of the onboard environment.

Declared tightness and possibility of installation in the engine compartment

The wording “sealed according to ISO 8846” and the indication that it can be installed in the engine compartment help in the choice when installation takes place in technical spaces where component protection is an important requirement.

Filter included

The filter provided with the pump contributes to a more orderly system management, reducing debris entry and facilitating periodic inspection and cleaning operations.

Usage and notes for installation/maintenance

For correct use in the nautical field, it is advisable to plan installation and maintenance consistently with the existing system and good onboard practices. Below are some general notes (without replacing the manufacturer's instructions):

• Check connections: check that the ports 3/4” (19 mm) are compatible with existing pipes and fittings, and that the fastenings are adequate.
• Filter positioning: keep the filter accessible for inspection and cleaning, especially in bilge installations where residues can accumulate.
• Alimentazione: the indicated version is 12 V; check that the onboard electrical system is consistent and that protections are properly sized in relation to the’8 A consumption.
• Periodic checks: in a marine environment it is good practice to periodically check the condition of the connections, filter cleaning, and general component conditions.
• Membrane/gasket replacement: for maintenance interventions, refer to the code 16.292.00 indicated for the membrane/gasket.

If you are replacing an existing pump, it is useful to compare not only the power supply but also attacks, flow rate and head with the requirements of your system, so as to maintain the intended functionality.
