Jabsco 12520-1271 Bronze Self-Priming Pump, 1/4 HP 115V, Neoprene Impeller
The Jabsco 12520-1271 is a bronze self-priming pump and motor unit close coupled to a 1/4 HP, 1725 RPM, 115 VAC motor with an 8 ft cord and three prong plug. The pump end is bronze with a neoprene flexible impeller and a nitrile lip type shaft seal, with 3/8 in NPT internal and 3/4 in garden hose external ports.
It has a nominal flow of about 6 GPM and a vertical dry suction lift of about 6 ft with the neoprene impeller, provided the suction line is airtight. The neoprene impeller is the choice for water and general purpose pumping. Like every flexible impeller pump it must not run dry and should be drained before freezing weather.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Why will it not self-prime?
Almost always an air leak on the suction side. Every suction connection must be airtight for the pump to pull a vacuum.
Q: What is the main service part?
The impeller. Keep a spare with the matching compound, plus an end cover gasket.
Q: How long can it run dry?
Only seconds. The flexible impeller depends on the liquid for lubrication, and dry running damages it quickly.
Q: Which port is the inlet?
Motor rotation decides it. Check the arrow or the pump instructions, and plumb the suction line to the inlet port.
