Equipment Check
1.1
Follow site safety regulations prior to equipment disassembly.
• Lock out motor and valves
• Wear designated personal safety equipment
• Relieve any pressure in the system
• Consult site MSDS files for hazardous material regulations
1.2
Disassemble equipment to allow access to seal installation area.
1.3
Remove all burrs and sharp edges from the shaft or sleeve including sharp edges
of keyways and threads. Replace shaft or sleeve if worn in the sleeve gasket
area. Make sure the seal housing bore and face are clean and free of burrs.
1.4
Check requirements for shaft, sleeve, and seal housing, see Figure 1.
1.5
Check assembly drawing included with the cartridge seal for materials of construc-
tion, dimensions, and piping connections.
1.6
Check shaft or sleeve O.D., box bore, and distance to the first obstruction to
ensure that they are dimensionally the same as shown on the seal assembly
drawing.
1.7
Check gland pilot and bolt holes to ensure they are adaptable to the equipment
and are the same as shown on the assembly drawing.
