Incorrect Pump Orientation and Reasons
The WP29 and WP32 contain a mechanical seal; 0.1cubic centimeters per hour may weep past the seal as a
part of normal operation. To properly collect the weepage pump orientation is important. Too steep of an angle
will not allow the fluid to collect in the weep pocket and evaporate off and the pump may appear to be leaking
when in fact it is operating as designed. An incorrect mounting angle may also result in too much fluid being
retained in the weep pocket resulting in bearing contamination and reduced service life.
