Jabsco 18246-0000 Drive Magnet
The Jabsco 18246-0000 is a genuine Jabsco drive magnet, the part that transmits torque in a magnetically coupled, sealless pump. The motor turns the outer drive magnet, which pulls the inner magnet on the impeller around through a solid containment wall, so no shaft passes through the housing and there is no shaft seal to leak. 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 drive magnet is replaced when the coupling has lost strength and slips under normal load, or when the magnet carrier is damaged. Handle magnets with care during service, since they are strong enough to trap fingers and will pull in any loose steel nearby.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Should seals and gaskets be replaced at the same time?
Yes. Once the pump is apart, new seals and gaskets are inexpensive insurance.
Q: What causes this part to wear?
Running hours, corrosion, dry running and abrasive liquids are the usual causes.
Q: Do I need special tools?
Most pump rebuilds need only hand tools, though bearings may need a press or suitable drivers.
Q: How do I confirm this is the right part?
Match the part number against the parts list for the model number on your pump plate.
