Shaft sealing
WARNING:
The mechanical seal used in an Ex-classified environment must be properly certified. Prior to startup,
make sure that all areas that could leak pumped fluid to the work environment are closed.
NOTICE:
The mechanical seal must have an appropriate seal-flush system. Otherwise, excess heat generation and
seal failure can occur.
Seal the shaft with a packed stuffing box
WARNING:
Packed stuffing boxes are not allowed in an ATEX-classified environment.
Pumps are shipped without the packing, lantern ring, or split gland installed. These parts are included with
the box of fittings shipped with each pump and must be installed before startup.
1. Carefully clean the stuffing-box bore.
2. Twist the packing enough to get it around the shaft.
