Public Version of BCI

A circular base with an upward lip that climbs to create a short cylinder. The top of the cylinder 

is closed, and incorporated into the mold is upward extending symmetrical hexagon whose 

edges end where the base cylinder ends. One of the sides acts as the base of a threaded 

hollow cylinder, another has two holes that extend downward in an enclosed cylinder. In the 

center of the hexagon shape is a threaded through-hole. Against an inner edge of one side, is 

an up write 1/2 pentagon with a hole through the triangular top. Where three of the hexagon 

sides meet the exterior circle, and extending down the width of the lips are two horizontal, 

upside down triangles, which extend slightly past the circular base and form a horizontal flat 

edge. In the middle of the three flat edges (corresponding to the three prongs) is a through 

hole. The underside of the circular base includes a lip, which holds a concave rim, and a 

hollow interior following the general shape of the top portion explained above.

This custom designed plastic injection molded part is unique to Raybend, thus not available 

elsewhere. It is produced in China on custom tooling designed to work on plastic injection 

molding machines in China, and nowhere else. To produce the part in the United States 

would require retooling at a cost more than $55,000, approximately 6 months to start 

production, and would be 70% more expensive than in China. 

This part is used in the manufacture of submersible pumps in the United States in 

Raybend's facility in Michigan. Therefore, the continuing ability of Raybend to purchase this 

part in China at low prices helps ensures the profitability of Raybend's Michigan 

manufacturing, and therefore, the livelihood of its employees.

If an exclusion is not granted or tariffs cannot be past along to customers, Raybend will 

need to shift costs and possibly move final assembly of pumps from the United States to 

other countries, such as Vietnam, where they are already sourcing some finished products.

Moreover, submersible pumps, parts and motors do not appear to be part of the "Made in 

China 2025" initiative, and certainly is not strategically related or important to it. The 

MIC2025 focuses on 10 key sectors of the Chinese industry, and none of them could fairly 

be said to involve sump pumps or parts.

A circular base with an upward lip that climbs to create a short 

cylinder. The top of the cylinder is closed, and incorporated into the 

mold is upward extending symmetrical hexagon whose edges end 

where the base cylinder ends. One of the sides acts as the base of 

a threaded hollow cylinder, another has two holes that extend 

downward in an enclosed cylinder. In the center of the hexagon 

shape is a threaded through-hole. Against an inner edge of one 

side, is an up write 1/2 pentagon with a hole through the triangular 

top. Where three of the hexagon sides meet the exterior circle, and 

extending down the width of the lips are two horizontal, upside 

down triangles, which extend slightly past the circular base and 

form a horizontal flat edge. In the middle of the three flat edges 

(corresponding to the three prongs) is a through hole. The 

underside of the circular base includes a lip, which holds a concave 

rim, and a hollow interior following the general shape of the top 

portion explained above. 

This serves as the top of the sump pump, allowing a water tight 

seal, a custom fit with the top of the motor, a cord input, and an 

input for leak testing / an area allowing motor oil to be installed.
