Model Comparison: Overview of 17018 Versions
-
17018-0001B (this item): The pure single impeller (bulk) without any accessories such as gaskets or lubricants.
-
17018-0001-P: The complete service kit including lubricant as well as the most common housing gaskets and O-rings for a professional impeller replacement.
Note on Impeller Markings: Original Jabsco impellers often have the internal production number 17018-0001, 17018-1101, or 17018-0101 molded directly into the rubber. These represent the exact same component, and the offered impeller 17018-0001B is the precise replacement.
The Advantages of Jabsco Original Quality
-
Specific Rubber Compound: Guarantees precise elasticity and dimensional stability even at extreme media temperatures.
-
Constant Flow Rate: Reliably stable volume flow over many operating hours.
-
Vulcanized Core: The high-strength vulcanized bond between the brass hub and the neoprene prevents the elastomer from separating from the hub. The maximum drive torque remains fully intact, effectively minimizing the hub spinning on the shaft.
-
Excellent Memory Effect: The blades return to their precise shape millions of times, ensuring fast and powerful self-priming.
-
Dimensional Accuracy: Precise manufacturing tolerances ensure an optimal fit in the pump housing and maximize efficiency.
Maintenance, Storage & Service Life
-
Replacement Interval: As a central wear part of the seawater cooling system, the impeller should be replaced annually as a precaution. Failure can lead to overheating and severe engine damage. For commercial or intensively used systems, shorter maintenance intervals may be required.
-
Dry Run Protection: During installation, it is mandatory to use a suitable impeller lubricant (e.g., glycerin) to prevent friction damage (burn damage) during the initial start-up.
-
Storage: Keep in a cool, dark, and dry place. Maximum storage time before initial commissioning: 5 years.
Practical Tip: Always carry at least one spare impeller in stock or on board for critical systems. Use an impeller puller for removal to avoid damaging the bronze housing of the pump.
