Shoulder screws 57.2 are designed to hold the rotating portion

of the seal in proper position to the stationary housings during

installation. These screws must not be turned until at least one

allen screw 57 has been set firmly to the shaft. Once at least one

57 allen screw has been firmly set to the shaft shoulder screws

57.2 may be removed, and if necessary the shaft can be rotated

by hand to align the remaining allen set screws to the opening for

tightening.

Dog point set screw 57.1 should never be removed. The only job

this screw does is attach the sleeve collar to the sleeve. Those

screws will never engage the shaft and must not be backed out

of their threaded hole.

The screws may be numbered with different numbers, but the

procedure is similar.

There may be special custom installation instructions for your

seal on the face of the assembly drawing.

2.1.7 Inspect your installation. At this point use any visual method

possible to insure that the seal is positioned axially and radially

in the correct position according to the assembly drawing.

2.1.8 Attach piping to the seal. Referring to Figure 1 insure that the

barrier fluid flow and pressure is injected into the barrier inlet (BI)

and that the barrier outlet (BO) is connected to proper piping to

carry away the barrier fluid after it passes through the seal cavity.

2.1.9 Ensure that the barrier fluid cavity is filled with water before

operating the shaft. The condensate works as a lubricant to the

upper and lower seal face sets and without being properly wetted

they will squeal loudly, or possibly even destroy themselves.
