sleeve. Remove sharp edges from keyways and threads.

5.10 Check equipment requirements as described in Figure 1. Any reading

greater than what is allowed must be brought within specifications.

5.11 Handle the seal with care; it is manufactured to precise tolerances. The

seal faces are of special importance and should be kept perfectly clean at
all times. Oil, silicone lubrication, or type of grease should not be applied to
these seal faces.

6. Dual Gas Barrier Seal Installation

NOTE: No seal setting measurements are needed to install the seal. Instructions

are for end-suction back pull-out pumps. Modification of these procedures
may be required for other style pumps. Consult Flowserve for installation
support.

Take care that seal cartridge or components of the seal are handled and car-
ried safely during installation of mechanical seal and that the ergonomic prin-
ciples are followed. In order to prevent personal injuries the operator should
also wear protective clothing as per the plant’s safety regulations.

Seal Chamber Requirements

The mechanical seal may be installed when there are no visible signs of dam-

age to the mechanical seal. This applies in particular to the seats, centrings,

and the statically sealing 0-rings.
