The Jabsco 2553-0000 is a genuine Jabsco paper gasket for the half-thickness cam used in some Jabsco flexible (rubber) impeller pumps. It seals and spaces the half cam inside the pump body so the cam sits at the correct position and liquid does not bypass or leak around it.
Whenever the half cam is removed or replaced, this gasket should be renewed. An old gasket that has compressed or torn can let the cam sit incorrectly or allow leaks, reducing pump performance. It pairs with the 2551-0000 half-thickness cam kit.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Can I reuse the old cam gasket?
It is best to replace it. Once compressed, a paper gasket may not seal or space the cam correctly again.
Q: Does this gasket fit a full-thickness cam?
No. It is made for the half-thickness cam.
Q: Should the gasket be oiled or sealed?
Fit it clean and dry unless the pump manual says otherwise.
Q: What else should I check during this repair?
Inspect the impeller and wear plate, since they are easy to replace while the pump is open.
