can you identify this bilge pump and in line valve?

No luck on the PBO board so just in case someone here knows, I am repeating my plea for help. The link is can you identify these items?

Tried lots of googling to no avail!

Probably because you searched for a "bilge pum", whatever that might be

A bilge pum is what you have when the one-way valve has failed <vbg>

Did that include image search?

The pump is a plastimo 1038. Very common item. This page shows the pump and a selection of non return valves etc. https://www.plastimo-pro.com/en/53059-pump-1038-and-by-pass

And so it is. Great. Thanks for your help!

Only problem now is that Plastimo went bust, got taken over by private equity, and are not looking after much of their old range including the bits I want! :-(

There seem to be plenty available online. Search/google also for model 925 if you have a smaller boat with 25mm piping. The 1038 is for 38mm piping.

Plastimo's "went bust and got bought by private equity" moment was well over a decade ago. They are now part of Alliance Marine, who are themselves private equity owned. This pump is in their catalogue today so I'm not following your "not looking after old range" comment. By the way, companies that did not go bust and/or are not private equity owned also cease support for old products

Could you be in PE? My son is for sure - busily beancounting and lawyering but actually making nothing but obscene levels of money. Its a parasitic life.

But if you look at what Plastimo now offer its but a pale shadow of times past and doesnt include spare parts for many of the fittings on my boat.. I will try Google

Are you a Daily Mail journalist?

I don't agree the parasitic comment but am not going to argue it here.

Ref your second para, I'm sure you're correct but are you making a cause-and-effect argument? How come, because loads of non PE owned businesses no longer support older products (thankfully - they should not waste resources doing so).
