Jabsco # 12460-0011 Self-Priming Flexible Impeller Pump

The Jabsco 12460-0011 is a phenolic-type plastic Flexible Impeller pump with a Neoprene Impeller, Lip Type seal, coupled to a 12 Volt DC, 4 amps Motor. This pump is for intermittent duty only, and has a Reversible permanent magnet, fully enclosed Motor with a stainless steel shaft. The motor on this pump meets USCG Electrical Standards (Title 33, Chapter 1, Part 183; Subpart 1) for IGNITION PROTECTION on gasoline powered vessels. This pump is self-priming and with a wet impeller, pump will produce a suction lift of about 4 feet (1.2m) and a lift to 15 feet (5m) when primed. This flexible impeller pump must not be run dry, as the pumped liquid is the lubricant for the impeller. Observe the outlet and shut off pump as soon as liquid stops flowing. An automatic level switch is convenient to control the pump. The pump cannot run against a closed outlet such as encountered when using a garden hose type shut-off nozzle. Temperature of pumped liquid may be in the range of 45 degrees F - 160 degrees F (10 degrees C - 70 degrees C). Pressure for normal operation should not exceed 30 feet of head (13 psi). The pump must be mounted in a dry location the motor is not waterproof and must not be submerged. Selection of a cool location will generally extend pump motor life. The unit can be mounted in any desired position. The pump head may be rotated 180 degrees to change direction of flow in preferred rotation (see wiring diagram). It is best to mount so that water dripping from loose port connection will not wet the motor.
