Whale Gulper 320 12V Pump – code: 16.156.12 – Osculati

Whale Gulper 320 12V Osculati Pump (code 16.156.12)

The Whale Gulper 320 12V Pump by Osculati (code 16.156.12) is a solution designed for onboard drainage applications where reliability and ease of installation are required. The Gulper 320 model maintains the construction design of the Gulper series and, compared to the Gulper 220, offers a higher flow rate (indicated as +35% compared to the 220) and a series of measures that make it easier to orient the head and fix it in technical spaces.

It is a pump 12V, pump, suitable for onboard electrical systems with this power supply, and is offered with a hose holder for pipe diameters 19/25 mm.

Typical onboard applications

The Gulper 320 is suitable for applications of bilge pump and, more generally, for drainage operations in the nautical field where a compact and adjustable pump is useful. The ability to rotate the head facilitates insertion into technical compartments and areas with already defined pipe passages.

• Bilge: management and discharge of water in technical areas.
• Compartments and lockers: drainage where access is limited and the orientation of the fittings is crucial.
• Onboard systems: integration into discharge lines with pipes compatible with 19/25 mm hose holders.

Operational advantages

Simpler and tidier installation

The 3-foot design is designed to speed up fastening, while the’EZI-CLAMP allows you to orient the head at 360° practically: a concrete advantage when you have to follow an existing pipe route or when space requires a specific outlet.

Vibration reduction in installation

The anti-vibration rubber support band helps make the installation more stable and limits vibrations transmitted to the support structure, a useful aspect in the nautical field where components are often mounted in technical compartments and bulkheads.

Programmable maintenance

For head maintenance, a dedicated kit (code 16.156.99is provided. Having a clear reference for replacement helps plan interventions and reduce downtime if necessary.

Use and notes (installation and management)

Choice of pipes and connections

The pump is supplied with a 19/25 mm hose holder: before installation, check that the onboard piping matches these diameters and that the route is as linear as possible, avoiding unnecessary constrictions and curves. The orientation of the head at 360° allows optimizing the outlet according to the system layout.

12V power supply

Being a 12V, pump, it must be integrated into a system with a corresponding power supply. Consider the indicated consumption (7.5 A) when choosing the electrical line and protections, in line with good onboard installation practices.

Checks and maintenance

• Perform periodic checks of fastenings, pipes, and electrical connections.
• If intervention on the head is necessary, refer to head maintenance kit 16.156.99.
• Keep the installation area clean to reduce the risk of buildup that could interfere with drainage.

Note on variants and selections

This product refers to version 12V with code 16.156.12. If you are comparing variants (e.g., different voltages), always check the code and data associated with the correct version.
