JABSCO
Frequently asked questions
Common questions about JABSCO from 3G Electric.
What is the difference between the JABSCO 12V and 24V DC blowers?
JABSCO offers direct-drive blowers in both 12V DC and 24V DC nominal voltages. The voltage rating determines the electrical system compatibility. For example, part number 35770-0092 is a 12V DC blower with a 4-1/2 in wheel diameter, while part number 34739-0020 is a 24V DC blower with a 3-1/4 in wheel diameter. Both feature a totally enclosed motor housing and include a drive pack. Selection depends on the available DC power supply on the vessel or equipment. 3G Electric stocks both voltage options and can provide specifications to match your system.
Are JABSCO mechanical seals available as individual replacement parts?
Yes, JABSCO mechanical seals and seal seats are available as individual components. For dewatering and wastewater pumps, part numbers include 18753-0235 (seal seat) and 18753-0245 (mechanical seal). These are direct replacement parts designed to prevent fluid leakage along the rotating shaft. When ordering, verify the pump model and seal part number to ensure compatibility. 3G Electric supplies these seals and can cross-reference your existing JABSCO pump to identify the correct seal kit or component.
What material are JABSCO O-rings for dewatering pumps made from?
The JABSCO O-ring with manufacturer part number 18753-0267 is made from nitrile (Buna-N). Nitrile is commonly used in pump seals for its resistance to oils, water, and many hydraulic fluids. This O-ring is designed for dewatering and wastewater pumps and is sold in a pack of three. It provides a seal to prevent fluid leaks around pump components. For applications involving aggressive chemicals or high temperatures, verify compatibility with nitrile or consider alternative materials. 3G Electric can provide material specifications and assist with selection.
What are typical applications for JABSCO corrosion-resistant blowers?
JABSCO corrosion-resistant blowers are used for ventilation and fume extraction in environments where moisture or fumes are present. Common applications include marine engine rooms, industrial enclosures, and wastewater treatment areas. The totally enclosed motor housing (available on models like 35770-0092 and 34739-0020) provides additional protection against contaminants. The open dripproof design (e.g., part 4C814) is suitable for less demanding environments. These blowers operate on 12V or 24V DC and include a drive pack. 3G Electric supplies these blowers globally for OEM and replacement use.
How do I identify the correct JABSCO replacement part for my pump?
To identify the correct JABSCO replacement part, locate the pump's model and serial number, then refer to the manufacturer's parts list. For common dewatering and wastewater pumps, parts such as O-rings (18753-0267), seal seats (18753-0235), and mechanical seals (18753-0245) are available. If the part number is unknown, provide the pump model and application details to 3G Electric. Our team can cross-reference JABSCO documentation to determine the correct component. Always confirm material compatibility and dimensions before ordering.
What is included with a JABSCO direct-drive blower?
JABSCO direct-drive blowers include a drive pack as part of the assembly. The drive pack typically consists of the motor, wheel, and mounting components. For example, part number 35760-0092 is a 12V DC blower with a 4-1/2 in wheel diameter and includes a drive pack. The blower is designed for direct-drive operation, meaning the wheel is mounted directly on the motor shaft, eliminating belts or pulleys. This simplifies installation and reduces maintenance points. 3G Electric can provide further details on included components for specific part numbers.
