Install the type A and B stuffing boxes
The type B stuffing box is the same as the type A with the exception that it has a shaft sleeve with an O-
ring.
1. Lubricate the O-ring and the shaft threads.
2. Slip the sleeve onto the shaft and carefully rotate it counterclockwise while you gently push down until
the O-ring is clear of the shaft threads.
3. Locate the sleeve on the shaft and secure it with setscrews.
4. Position the gasket on the discharge head.
5. Slide the stuffing box down over the shaft and into position on the gasket.
6. Secure the stuffing box with capscrews.
7. If the packing washer is provided, insert it into the stuffing box.
The packing washer is not required on shaft sizes 2.19 in. (55.63 mm) and larger.
8. Grease the packing rings for easier installation.
9. Install the packing rings:
a) Twist each of the five packing rings sideways in order to easily get them around the shaft.
You can set the sixth ring aside until the packing is adjusted for leakage after the first startup.
b) Start the first ring into the stuffing box.
c) Use your fingers to position the entire ring in the stuffing box.
d) Tap each ring down using a split wooden bushing and push the packing ring down firmly until it
seals on the shaft and bore of the stuffing box.
e) Stagger the ring joints 90° apart.
You can use the split gland as a tamper for the top ring.
10. Install the split gland and thread the nuts on the split gland studs.
11. Hand-tighten the nuts.
12. If an optional bypass line is furnished, attach it to the tube fitting in the stuffing box.
