Jabsco 14938-0000 Gasket
The Jabsco 14938-0000 is a genuine Jabsco replacement gasket. Gaskets in a flexible impeller pump seal the joints between the body, end cover and other components so the pump holds its prime and does not weep, and on the end cover joint the gasket thickness also sets part of the running clearance for the impeller. Jabsco uses this part number on specific pump models only, so match it against the parts list for the model number on your pump plate before ordering.
A gasket that has been compressed in service takes the shape of the faces it sealed and rarely seals a second time, so fit a new one whenever the joint is opened. Clean both faces completely, and fit the gasket dry unless the pump instructions call for a sealant.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: How many spares should I keep?
At least one per pump. It is the part most likely to be needed whenever the pump is opened.
Q: Can I reuse the old gasket?
It is not recommended. A used gasket has taken a set and will often leak or let the pump draw air when refitted.
Q: Should I use sealant on the gasket?
Only if the pump instructions call for it. Sealant squeezed into the pumping chamber can change clearances and foul the impeller.
Q: Why is my pump losing prime?
An old or pinched gasket is a common cause. Air drawn in at a joint stops the pump from pulling a vacuum on the suction side.
