The CPM PP seal is a cartridge mounted mechanical seal, designed for

ease of installation and reliable operation. No seal setting dimensions

are external of the pumpage, resisting clogging or hang-up. Installation

according to the following steps will assure long trouble free life of the

CPM PP seal.
