9.6 Packaging
All packaging materials used are made from recyclable, environmentally
friendly materials. When in doubt or for further information and advice on
this subject, please consult John Crane.
10. Quality Assurance
This seal has been assembled in accordance with John Crane Quality
Assurance Standards and with proper machine maintenance and use
will give safe and reliable operation to the maximum recommended
performance as shown in any relevant approved John Crane publication.
11. Mechanical Seal Piping Plans
To create the optimum environment for the mechanical seal it is usually
necessary to add piping and sometimes extra equipment.
For advice on a specific application please contact John Crane.
For liquid lubricated seals, venting of air trapped around the seal faces
is essential for correct seal operation. For horizontal machines the best
method of automatically achieving this is a piping connection at top dead
center (TDC). For vertical machines a piping connection above the seal
faces is required.

Introduction
This document covers fitting of the mechanical seal to rotating machinery
and should be kept for future reference. It should be used with any
instruction manuals supplied with the rotating machinery and any
ancillary equipment.
The mechanical seal contains precision lapped components which have
been designed to minimize process fluid emissions when selected, fitted
and used correctly.
If the process fluid is toxic or hazardous,
appropriate precautions must be taken to contain
any emissions.
Never burn any of the rubber or plastic parts of the
mechanical seal. Toxic fumes may be generated.
ATTENTION
The machinery operating conditions must not exceed the
published operating limits of the mechanical seal.
ATTENTION
Take care when handling the mechanical seal as it
contains precision lapped parts.
NOTE
Operating limits and all dimensions can be found at:
www.johncrane.com.
The operating limits will depend on the
materials used.
