Product catalog summary
Features: The Model 18680-1000 is a reversible rotary vane pump designed for 12V DC operation. It features a bronze body, Vectra rotor, Ryton vanes, and a nitrile lip-type seal. The motor is a 12V DC permanent magnet type, suitable for intermittent duty, with a stainless steel shaft. The pump has 1/2" NPT internal pipe threads and 1" external hose barb ports. Dimensions are 3-3/8" height, 8-5/8" length, and 4-3/4" width, weighing 5-1/2 lbs.
Applications: This pump is ideal for transferring diesel fuel, being self-priming up to three feet and capable of pumping against a discharge head up to twenty feet. It is particularly useful for moving fuel between tanks on a vessel.
Installation: The pump should be mounted in a dry, cool, and ventilated location to extend motor life. It can be mounted in any position, and the pump head can be rotated 180° to reverse flow direction. The motor meets USCG and ISO 8846 Marine standards for ignition protection.
Plumbing Connections: Use hoses that do not kink and have sufficient wall thickness. Ensure airtight connections for fast priming. A strainer is recommended if debris is present in the fluid.
Head Capacity Table: The table provides head-flow data for new pumps, indicating performance at various pressures and heights.
Warnings: Do not operate with rivets removed from the motor case or pump volatile liquids with a flash point below 100°F to avoid explosion hazards.
Wiring Diagram: Minimum wire sizes are specified based on the distance between the battery and motor. Use only multi-strand copper wire.
Operation: The pump is designed for intermittent duty and should not run dry. It cannot operate against a closed outlet, and excessive pressure will cause the fuse to blow.
Electrical Specification: The pump should be wired to a protected distribution panel with a 20 amp breaker or fuse. The motor draws 8 amps and requires a 15 amp fuse.
Maintenance: Regularly check wires and connections for corrosion. Drain the pump if exposed to freezing temperatures.
Assembly and Disassembly: Detailed steps are provided for disassembling and assembling the pump, including lubrication and installation instructions.
Contact Information: Contact details for Jabsco offices in the USA, UK, Canada, Japan, and Germany are provided.
Warranty: The product is covered by a one-year limited warranty.

Motor with switch assembly meets USCG Electrical Standards (Title 33, Chapter I, Part 183; Subpart I), and ISO 8846 Marine for IGNITION PROTECTION on gasoline powered vessels. SEE WARNING NOTE. PLUMBING CONNECTIONS The Jabsco Reversible Rotary Vane Pump is ideal for transferring diesel fuel. It is self-priming to about three feet and can pump against a discharge head up to twenty feet. With its integral on-off reversing switch, it is ideal for moving fuel between port and starboard fuel tanks. Pump ports have external 1" hose barb and internal 1/2" pipe threads. Use hose that does not kink when bent and with sufficient wall thickness to prevent collapse when used on suction side of pump. Ideally, hoses should be routed so that some fluid will be retained in pump body to wet the rotor and vanes. Wetting the rotor and vanes aids priming. Use a strainer on the intake hose if debris or solids are present in the fluid being pumped. ALL HOSES MUST HAVE AIRTIGHT CONNECTIONS TO ENABLE FAST PRIMING. Explosion hazard. Do not pump volatile liquids with a flash point below 100°F (38°C). Doing so can cause an explosion or fire resulting in injury or death. NOTE: No. 2 diesel fuel has a flash point of 125°F (52°C) [ASTM 0-93]. HEAD CAPACITY TABLE The pump must be mounted in a dry location – the motor is not waterproof and must not be submerged. SELECTION OF A COOL, VENTILATED location will generally extend pump motor life. The unit can be mounted in any desired position. It is best to mount so that fluid dripping from a loose port connection will not * Vectra is a registered trademark of Celanese Corporation ** Ryton is a registered trademark of Phillips Chemical Company Total Head Feet Metres Table shows approximate Head-Flow for new pump.

ELECTRICAL SPECIFICATION ! MINIMUM WIRE SIZES Explosion hazard. If pump is operated in an area containing flammable vapors, wire leads must be joined by insulated mechanical locking connectors. Loose or inadequate wire connections can spark resulting in an explosion. Property damage, injury or death can occur. The Reversible Vane pump should be wired to an overcurrent protected distribution panel fitted with a 20 amp breaker or fuse that is specific to the Reversible Vane Pump circuit. Connect the orange motor lead to positive and the black motor lead to negative. Fuse Size Wire Length Between...
