Rule 66 Vertical Mounting Bracket For Small Round Pumps

The Rule 66 is a vertical mounting bracket for older round-style Rule 360, 500, 800 and 1100 GPH bilge pumps. It allows side mounting where the normal bottom mounting surface is impractical.

The Rule 66 bracket supports installation of compatible older round-style Rule bilge pumps on a vertical surface. It is intended for confined bilges or layouts where the pump cannot be secured directly to the bilge floor.

Installation and Safety

Choose a rigid vertical surface that keeps the pump inlet at the lowest practical bilge level and preserves access for strainer removal. Secure the bracket using corrosion-resistant fasteners appropriate to the mounting surface, then confirm that the installed pump cannot move, foul wiring or hoses, or trap debris around its inlet.

Maintenance

Inspect the bracket and pump attachment during routine bilge maintenance.

• Check fasteners for looseness or corrosion.
• Confirm the pump remains fully seated and cannot twist under hose load.
• Inspect the bracket for cracking, distortion or impact damage.
• Retain access to the pump strainer and service points.
