Jabsco 18753-0272 Retaining Ring
The Jabsco 18753-0272 is a genuine Jabsco retaining ring that locates the shaft bearings. It is listed for Jabsco 30540 and 30580 series industrial flexible impeller pumps.
Retaining rings snap into a machined groove to locate a bearing, shaft or seal and stop it moving along its axis. A ring that has been sprung open, distorted or corroded will not hold properly, so fit a new one whenever the pump is rebuilt. Use the correct ring pliers, and check the ring is fully seated in its groove all the way round before reassembly.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: How do I know it is seated?
It should sit fully down in its groove all the way round with no gap or tilt.
Q: What happens if it fails?
The bearing or shaft can move, which damages the seal and can let the impeller rub.
Q: Should I keep a spare?
Yes, they are small and easily lost or damaged during a rebuild.
Q: Can I reuse the old ring?
It is better not to. Removing a ring can spread it, and a weakened ring may not hold the bearing in place.
