Maxi pump Rule 24 V 7 A 38 mm – code: 16.118.24 – Osculati

Rule maxi pump 24 V 7 A 38 mm (Osculati) – code 16.118.24

The Rule maxi pump offered by Osculati (supplier code 16.118.24) is a submersible bilge pump designed for nautical applications and onboard systems where construction reliability and practical installation are required. The design integrates a long-lasting engine with water cooling and a structure designed to simplify assembly and maintenance, thanks to the snap-on base.

This version is configured for power supply 24 V and features inlet Ø 38 mm. It is a solution suitable for those who want a “maxi” bilge pump with components and materials oriented for continuous use in a marine environment.

Features and construction details

Motor and protections

• Long-lasting engine with permanently lubricated bearings.
• Water cooling, useful for thermal management during operation.
• Double insulation which drastically reduces the possibility of shaft electrolysis (a relevant feature in nautical environments).

Materials and structure

• Acetal housing, a material used for its suitability in technical and marine contexts.
• Snap-on base for practical fastening and to facilitate any inspection/replacement operations.

Main data of the 24 V – Ø 38 mm version

Below are the available data for the configuration associated with this item:

• Voltage: 24 V
• Flow rate: 237 l/min
• Consumption: 6.9 A
• Head: 6.3 m
• : 4 cm: 184 mm
• Mouth: Ø 38 mm
• Base: 120 mm

Typical applications (nautical and onboard plant engineering)

This submersible bilge pump is suitable for many operational situations where water evacuation needs to be managed simply and with components designed for the marine environment. In particular, it can be used in:

• Bilge pleasure boats and work units, as a main or support pump (depending on the system design).
• Technical compartments and compartments subject to water accumulation, where a submersible pump with stable installation is required.
• Maintenance interventions and refitting, when you want to replace an existing pump with a model equipped with a snap-on base and suitable materials.

Note: the choice of the pump and the sizing of the system (pipes, drains, electrical protections) must be consistent with the specific installation and the actual usage conditions.

Operational advantages

Reliability in the marine environment

The combination of permanently lubricated bearings and water cooling is aimed at smooth operation over time. The double insulation is an important plus to reduce the risk of phenomena related to’shaft electrolysis, a known issue in onboard systems.

Simplified installation and maintenance

The snap-on base helps make assembly operations and periodic checks more practical. In the nautical field, where accessibility can be limited, this construction detail can make a difference in the ordinary management of the system.

Integration with Ø 38 mm discharge lines

The inlet Ø 38 mm allows insertion into systems that use this outlet diameter, facilitating adaptation or replacement in case of refitting, maintaining consistency with the existing delivery line (when compatible with the system).

Usage and installation notes

General indications

• Install the pump in a position suitable for bilge suction and with stable fastening via the base.
• Verify that the discharge line is correctly sized and laid, avoiding bottlenecks and unnecessary bends.
• Ensure electrical connections adequate for a 24 V system and protections compliant with the onboard design.
• Perform periodic checks to remove any residues or foreign bodies that may interfere with operation.
