Maintenance teams servicing the Pahlen JET SWIM 1200 counter-current system face a straightforward but critical requirement: the connecting rod must match the manufacturer’s specified part number to preserve drive-system compatibility. The component is a high-frequency moving part, and incorrect selection can introduce avoidable risk into pool propulsion equipment.
The connecting rod for the JET SWIM 1200 is identified by part number 636016. Pahlen, the Swedish manufacturer, defines this number as the standard reference for the component. An internal stock code, 42842, is also associated with the same specification and is used in some distribution channels for inventory tracking.
Because the connecting rod sits within the drive assembly, matching the equipment nameplate to the JET SWIM 1200 model is the first check before installation. If the system model differs, the part should not be forced into service.
The distinction between the manufacturer part number and the inventory code matters in procurement: 636016 is the technical identifier, while 42842 is a stock-keeping reference. Both point to the same Pahlen connecting rod specification.
The table below summarizes the core identification data for the connecting rod. These details are intended for maintenance and inventory verification.
| Parameter | Value or information |
|---|---|
| Applicable system | JET SWIM 1200 counter-current system |
| Manufacturer | Pahlen (Sweden) |
| Model / part number | 636016 |
| Internal stock code | 42842 |
The connecting rod is a precision component processed from 1000T press-forged steel, a detail maintenance teams should note when assessing wear and replacement intervals.
As a high-frequency moving wear component, the connecting rod should be inspected together with the drive end during replacement. Checking for wear at the drive end can help avoid secondary transmission faults caused by installation deviation.
Installation should include verification of lubrication at the connection point and the tightness of fixing bolts. After assembly, a low-speed trial run is recommended to detect abnormal vibration or friction noise.
These checks align with the component’s role in the transmission system and support stable operation of the counter-current pool equipment.
