Jabsco 16500-0000 Drum Pump Drive Coupling
The Jabsco 16500-0000 is the genuine drive coupling for Jabsco drum pumps, the part that connects the motor output to the top of the pump shaft and transmits the drive when the motor is clamped onto the tube. Jabsco 16400 series drum pumps are portable, sealless centrifugal pumps that drop straight into a drum, carboy or vat, with a motor that clamps onto the top of the pump tube. Tubes come in polypropylene, stainless steel, sanitary and PVDF versions in 27, 35-1/2, 40 and 47 in lengths, driven by either an electric motor or an air motor.
Drum pump parts are replaced when a tube is cracked or bent, a shaft is worn or bent, or a motor or fitting has been damaged in handling. Always match the tube length and material to your pump, because the shaft, inner tubes and outer tube are made in matched lengths and materials for each tube model. Flush the pump with clean water or a compatible solvent after use, especially with corrosive liquids, and never run it dry for long periods.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What happens when the coupling wears?
The motor spins but the pump delivers little or nothing. A worn coupling is a common cause of that symptom.
Q: How do I know which tube length I have?
Measure the tube from the motor mount to the foot, or check the model number on the tube. Common lengths are 27, 35-1/2, 40 and 47 in.
Q: Can the drum pump run dry?
It should not be run dry for long. The pumped liquid cools and lubricates the internal parts.
Q: How should I clean the pump after use?
Run clean water or a compatible solvent through it, then let it drain, especially after corrosive liquids.
