Jabsco 18753-0268EPDM EPDM O-Ring
The Jabsco 18753-0268EPDM is the EPDM version of the Jabsco 18753-0268 O-ring, for liquids and temperatures that suit EPDM better than the standard material. It is listed for Jabsco 30540 series industrial flexible impeller pumps.
O-rings seal the joints between fixed parts of the pump. Once an O-ring has been compressed in service it takes a set and may not reseal, so fit a new one whenever the joint is opened. Check the groove is clean and undamaged, lubricate the O-ring lightly with a grease that suits the material, and make sure it is not twisted or pinched as the parts come together.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Should I lubricate it?
Yes, lightly, with a grease that is compatible with the O-ring material and the liquid being pumped.
Q: How do I know the material is right?
Match the material to the liquid. Nitrile suits oils and fuels, FKM suits many chemicals and higher temperatures, and EPDM suits hot water and many cleaning solutions.
Q: Why does a new O-ring still leak?
Check for a damaged groove, dirt on the sealing faces, or an O-ring that was twisted or pinched on assembly.
Q: Should I keep spares?
Yes. O-rings are small, inexpensive and easy to lose during a rebuild.
