Mechanical Seal
The mechanical seal is used on the Qpak, Qflo and Qflo-Plus pumps and is available
as an option on the Qmax, Qmid, and Qtwo pumps. (See Figure 2-10: “Mechanical
Seal Assembly.”)
Figure 2-10: Mechanical Seal Assembly
A stationary seal seat is in constant contact with a rotating carbon face to prevent
leakage. The sealing diaphragm is made of a rubber elastomer specifically designed
for high-temperature operations. Also see drawing Plate No. 757A, located at the back
of this manual, for additional information and a detailed illustration.
WARNING!
IF A PUMP IS OPERATED WITHOUT WATER FOR EXTENDED PERIODS, OR WITHOUT
DISCHARGING WATER, IT COULD OVERHEAT. THIS CAN DAMAGE THE MECHANICAL
SEAL OR THE DRIVE MECHANISM.
