Oil Change System 24 V, model 17820-0024 – code: 17820-0024 – Jabsco

Jabsco 24 V oil change system (model 17820-0024)

The’Oil Change System 24 V Jabsco model 17820-0024 (code: 17820-0024) is a system designed to facilitate oil change operations on board, typically installed in the engine room. It integrates a flexible impeller and a 24 V DC motor, in a solution designed to be permanently connected to the oil intake/discharge points of engines or transmissions.

The configuration with manifold and valves allows for orderly management of connections to multiple tanks/reservoirs, facilitating both the removal of used oil and the subsequent replenishment. The system also includes a reversal function (via integrated switch) to switch from discharge to transfer of new oil, maintaining a compact and protected setup thanks to the cover that shields the pump and manifold.

Features and construction details

Flexible impeller pump and components

The model Jabsco 17820-0024 is based on a Flexible Impeller with body in bronze. pump. The impeller is specified as Nitrile, while the seal is a Buna Lip Type Seal. This configuration is typical for fluid transfer and management applications in the marine sector, where robust solutions suitable for continuous use in the engine room are required.

24 V DC Motor

The pump is coupled to a 24 V DC motor. The choice of voltage allows integration into onboard systems that use 24 V power supplies, maintaining an installation consistent with the ship/boat's electrical equipment.

Manifold and multi-line management

The system is designed for installation with manifold and valves permanently connected to the engine oil pans or to the transmission oil sumps. The manifold is supplied with three ball valves factory-mounted to serve three different oil reservoirs. It is also possible to add additional valves to manage up to five reservoirs, maintaining a clear and dedicated selection logic for each circuit.

Dedicated full flow valves

Each connection to the engine/transmission is managed by a dedicated ball valve, indicated as full flow (full passage). This helps to manage the flow directly and with fewer restrictions, based on the line selected by the manifold.

Flow reversal via integrated switch

A functional element of the system is the ability to reverse the direction of operation: the same unit can be used to remove the used oil and, subsequently, to pump the new oil to the selected circuit, through integrated reversal switch. This logic reduces the need for separate equipment and simplifies operational phases, keeping the system tidy.

Protective cover and operational safety logic

The cover of the system serves a dual function:

• Aesthetics and order: offers a cleaner and more professional appearance, shielding the pump and manifold.
• Protection: helps protect the valves from accidental impacts that could lead to unintended openings.

Furthermore, a practical measure is provided: at the end of the oil change the cover does not close if the standard valves are not in fully closed position. This detail facilitates an immediate check of the valve status before restoring normal operation.

Typical onboard applications

This oil change system is designed for use in nautical and onboard plant contexts where the oil change must be carried out in an orderly and repeatable manner, with permanently prepared lines. In particular, it is suitable for:

• Engine rooms with multiple users (engines/transmissions) requiring periodic draining and refilling.
• Systems with manifold to select different lines, avoiding unnecessary “floating” connections.
• Situations where it is useful to have a dedicated system both for draining used oil and for transferring new oil by reversing.

The presence of the manifold with dedicated valves allows managing multiple service points with a central logic, making the procedure simpler and reducing the risk of confusion between lines, if the system is properly labeled during installation.

Functional advantages

Permanent installation and more orderly workflow

The system is designed to remain stably installed, with permanent connections to suction/discharge points. This approach promotes more orderly maintenance management and limits the need for temporary equipment, provisional piping, or repeated connection/disconnection operations.

Managing multiple reservoirs with a single unit

The manifold with three ball valves Standard allows serving three reservoirs; the provision for additional valves allows expanding the configuration up to five reservoirs. For boats with multiple users, this translates into a more centralized and coherent solution, where the line selection is done via a dedicated valve.

Reversal for discharge and filling

The ability to reverse the flow makes it easier to switch from the phase of removing used oil to the phase of replenishing new oil. The integrated reversal switch is designed for immediate operational use, without having to reconfigure the system.

Valve protection and closing control

The cover is not just an aesthetic element: it helps reduce the likelihood that the valves are accidentally operated and introduces a practical check at the end of the intervention, since the cover does not close if the standard valves are not fully closed. In maintenance contexts, this type of detail helps maintain more controlled procedures.

Usage and operational notes

General usage guidelines

In a properly set up system, the operator selects the line via the related ball valve on the manifold and uses the system to:

• Suck/remove the used oil from the selected reservoir.
• Activate the’reversal and proceed to transfer the new oil towards the same circuit.

Each connection is controlled by a dedicated valve: it is good practice to operate on one line at a time and always check the status of the other valves before starting the pump, maintaining an orderly sequence.

Valve and cover closure

At the end of operations, ensure that the standard supplied valves are in the fully closed. position. The system provides that the cover does not close if the valves are not closed: use this feature as a final check before leaving the system.

Note on installation and configuration

The product is designed to be installed in the engine room with manifold and valves permanently connected to the service points. For clear management, it is advisable to provide line identification (e.g., labels) during the system installation, so that the valve selection always corresponds to the desired reservoir.

FAQ – Frequently Asked Questions

Is this system suitable for installation in the engine room?

Yes. The system is designed to be installed in the engine room with the manifold and valves permanently connected to the oil pickup/discharge points of engines or transmissions.

How many lines/reservoirs can the manifold manage?

The manifold is supplied with three factory-mounted ball valves to serve three reservoirs. There is the possibility to add additional valves to reach up to five reservoirs.

Is it possible to use the same system to drain used oil and replenish new oil?

Yes. The system can remove oil from an engine or transmission and, through the integrated reversal switch, reverse operation to pump new oil into the selected circuit.

What is the function of the system cover?

The cover covers the pump and manifold, improving the installation order and offering protection against accidental impacts on the valves. Also, it does not close if the standard valves are not fully closed, helping with the check at the end of the oil change.
