Inside the box are five parts: a magnetic impeller, a ceramic shaft with rubber support, an impeller cover and a gasket. The parts are black, and the assembled unit measures 3 x 12 x 12 cm and weighs 100 g.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhich Fluval filter the parts are made for\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe kit is intended for the Fluval 407 canister filter, listed as model A449. Check the model number on your filter before ordering, since the impeller, shaft and cover are shaped for that motor head.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe impeller is the part the maker asks you to look at during routine maintenance, so the fit matters: a shaft or cover from another model is not the one this set supplies.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhat the impeller, shaft, cover and gasket do in the motor head\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe magnetic impeller sits inside the motor head and the ceramic shaft runs through it, held by the rubber support. The impeller cover closes over the assembly, and the gasket seals the cover against the motor head.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFluval recommends that, during routine maintenance, the impeller cover be taken off and the impeller checked; the company also points out that a clean impeller extends both its own life and that of the motor. The ceramic shaft is the part that carries the impeller; the rubber support holds it in place.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhat comes in the box\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOne magnetic impeller\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOne ceramic shaft with rubber support\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOne impeller cover\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOne gasket\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eInspecting and cleaning the impeller\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe maker's directions are to take off the impeller cover and check the impeller during routine maintenance. Cleaning the impeller is the step Fluval links to a longer impeller and motor life, so the kit gives you a spare set of the parts you handle at that point.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eQuestions buyers ask before ordering\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhich Fluval filter does this kit fit?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt is made for the Fluval 407 canister filter, also listed as model A449.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhat parts are in the kit?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eYou get a magnetic impeller, a ceramic shaft with rubber support, an impeller cover and a gasket.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHow big is the kit?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe parts measure 3 x 12 x 12 cm (1.2 x 4.7 x 4.7 in) and weigh 100 g (3.5 oz).\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eModel\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eA20097\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eColour\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBlack\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eTarget audience\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFish\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eMaterial\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eRubber\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eItem dimensions (L x W x H)\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e3 x 12 x 12 cm (1.2 x 4.7 x 4.7 in)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eItem weight\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e100 g (3.5 oz)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eIncluded components\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eAll items listed in description\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eSpecific uses\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eIndoor\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"Fluval","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44478641143871,"sku":null,"price":66.65,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0678\/2409\/1199\/files\/fluval-filter-maintenance-kit.jpg?v=1794739871","url":"https:\/\/dogjointly.com\/products\/fluval-407-motor-head-maintenance-kit","provider":"DogJointly","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
