2 P-200 Seal Installation
Tools needed:
• Open-end wrench for gland nuts
• Allen wrenches provided
• Silicone lubricant provided
2.1 Lubricate the shaft or sleeve OD lightly with the silicone lubricant
provided and slide the complete P-200 cartridge seal onto the
shaft, with the end with the setting devices toward the bearing
housing.
2.2 Install pump back plate (seal chamber/stuffing box), Figure 3.
Position the P-200 seal gland flush connection, port a in Figure 4,
in the 3 o’clock position for normal installations with CW rotation
(9 o'clock for CCW rotation) for optimum heat removal. Alternate
positioning of the gland may be necessary with some pump designs
to permit seal piping to clear the bearing housing. Refer to the
assembly drawing that is supplied with the seal for proper position-
ing. Bolt the back plate in place on the bearing housing.
