Seal Chamber Requirements Figure 1
1.5 Check assembly drawing included with the seal for equipment dimensions, seal
design, materials of construction, and piping connections.
1.6 Measure all diameters and distances to ensure they are dimensionally the same
as shown on the seal assembly drawing.
1.7 Handle all seal parts with care, they are manufactured to precise tolerances. The
seal faces are of special importance and should be kept perfectly clean.
1.1 Follow plant safety regulations:
• lock out motor and valves.
• wear designated personal safety equipment.
• relieve any pressure in system.
• consult plant MSDS files for hazardous material regulations.
1.2 Adjust the bearings, coupling, and impeller so that the shaft is in its operating
axial position. Disassemble equipment to allow access to seal installation area.
1.3 Remove all burrs and sharp edges from the shaft, sleeve, seal housing bore and
face, keyways, and any other feature that may contact sealing gaskets.
Replace worn components. Clean all piping plans.
1.4 Check requirements for shaft, sleeve, and seal housing. See Figure 1.
2 Mechanical Seal Installation
2.1 Review seal assembly drawing, seal assembly, and equipment prior to installation.
Read all notes on the seal assembly drawing. For hook sleeve designs, confirm the
seal setting length shown on the assembly drawing matches the equipment.
See Figure 1.
2.3 Lightly lubricate external gaskets with a lubricant compatible with both handled
product and gasket material. Generally, silicon grease is suitable.
2.4 Install the seal onto the shaft and locate it against the face of the seal chamber.
If applicable, ensure the sleeve is aligned with drive features on the shaft.
