Figure C---5. 46512---048 Seal Assembly
This seal is not designed for operation at
temperatures above 160
_
F (71
_
C). Do
not use at higher operating temperatures.
Inspect the pump casing and impeller shaft for
burrs or sharp corners, and remove any that exist.
With the stationary seat O-ring lubricated and
installed in the stationary seat, press the stationary
seat and element into the pump casing until it seats
squarely against the bore shoulder. Be careful not
to damage the stationary element. A push tube cut
from a length of plastic pipe would aid this installa-
tion. The O.D. of the pipe should be approximately
the same diameter as the O.D. of the seal spring.
NOTE
If the pump casing has not been installed, position
the casing over the shaft and against the intermedi-
ate, using caution not to damage the seal stationary
seat and element. Secure the casing to the inter-
mediate with the hardware (35 and 36).
Lubricate the shaft sleeve O-ring (51 ) and slide it
onto the shaft until it seats against the shaft shoul-
der.
Subassemble the rotating element into the retainer
and bellows. Use even pressure to carefully press
this subassembly onto the lubricated sleeve (50)
until the seal face is
just flush
with the chamfered
end of the sleeve.
Slide the assembled sleeve and rotating portion of
the seal onto the shaft until the seal faces contact.
Continue to push the sleeve through the seal until it
seats squarely against the shaft shoulder.
Install the seal spring and spring holder (52).
