6.2.2.3 Gland packing fitting
If the packing is supplied as cord the packing must
be cut so that the external diameter is lightly
tightened and there is an initial gap between the
sleeve and the packing ring.
For that purpose, wind the packing helically around
the shaft sleeve or a chuck of the same diameter.
(Take precautions to avoid damaging sleeve).
Ensure a tightening on the stuffing
box housing and not on the sleeve.
Setting of packing
Follow the instructions:
a) Assemble of the packing in S.
b) Stagger by about 90° between two rings.
c) Assemble packing after packing.
After setting the last packing, fix the gland on the
packing and screw up the nut by hand.
After this screwing phase, the shaft should turn by
hand as easily as before the setting of the packing.

6.3 Spare parts
6.3.1 Ordering of spares
Flowserve keeps records of all pumps that have
been supplied. When ordering spares the following
information should be quoted:
1) Pump serial number.
2) Pump size.
3) Part name
4) Part number
5) Number of parts required.
The pump size and serial number are shown on
the pump nameplate.
To ensure continued satisfactory operation,
replacement parts to the original design
specification should be obtained from Flowserve.
Any change to the original design specification
(modification or use of a non-standard part) will
invalidate the pump’s safety certification.

from vibration. Inspection and re-treatment of
metallic surfaces (if necessary) with preservative is
recommended at 6 monthly intervals.
