3.12 Concentricity of the shaft to the seal chamber bore should be within

0.025 mm per 25.4 mm (0.001 inch per 1 inch) shaft diameter to a

4 Seal Installation

4.1 Review Circpac HP assembly drawing and seal assembly instructions

prior to installation. Particularly follow special instructions listed on the

assembly drawing.

4.2 Apply a thin coat of lubricant to all gaskets. The lubricant must be

compatible with both the product and gasket materials. Generally,

silicon grease is suitable.

4.3 If the Circpac HP does not have a cartridge sleeve, verify that the

segmented rings are centered in the seal housing. Some sleeveless

assemblies provide a guide plug that centers the rings and aligns with

the shaft. Pay extra attention to cleaning the shaft.

4.4 Orient the ports on the seal housing(s) as indicated by the seal

assembly drawing and connection piping. Line up the seal housing(s)

bolt holes with those on the machine.

4.5 Slowly and carefully slide the seal along the shaft while maintaining

tight parallelism between the shaft and seal bore until located against

the face of the seal chamber. If a guide plug is used, allow the plug

to be displaced by the shaft. If the equipment manufacturer provides

installation tools, use these per the instructions.

4.6 Evenly torque gland bolts/nuts to prevent cocking of the gland or

uneven gland pressure against the seal chamber. For sleeved

designs, do not fasten drive arrangement.

4.7 Complete the remaining equipment assembly including bearings,

if applicable.

4.8 Ensure the setting plates are correctly located and engaged.

4.9 For sleeved designs, fasten drive arrangement to the setting values

shown on the seal assembly drawing, making sure the shaft is in the

same position as when the equipment is operating.
