MECHANICAL SEAL REPLACEMENT
Refer to Figures 1 and 2
IMPORTANT:
Always replace both the seal seat and the seal head to
insure proper mating of mechanical seal components!
1.
Unthread cap screws (Ref. No. 12) and remove pump casing
(Ref. No. 10) and O-ring (Ref. No. 5) from adapter (Ref. No.
3).
2.
Unscrew impeller (Ref. No. 9) from the motor shaft.
NOTE:
Some motors use an open end 7/16" wrench across the flats
on the rear of the motor shaft (remove bearing cap for access) to
prevent shaft from turning. Other motor shafts have a screwdriver slot
instead of the flats.
3.
Unthread cap screws (Ref. No. 4) and remove the adapter
from the motor mounting face. The seal head (Ref. No. 7)
and the impeller shims (Ref. No. 8) will come loose at this
time.
4.
Push seal seat (Ref. No. 6) from the adapter recess with a
screwdriver.
5.
Clean the adapter recess before inserting a new seal seat.
6.
Carefully wipe the ceramic surface of the new seal seat with
a clean cloth.
7.
Wet the rubber portion of the seal seat with a light coating of
soapy water.
8.
Press the new seal seat squarely into the cavity in the
adapter. If the seal seat does not press squarely into the
cavity, it can be adjusted in place by pushing on it with a
piece of pipe. Always use a piece of cardboard between the
pipe and the seal seat to avoid scratching the seal seat (this
is a lapped surface and must be handled very carefully).
9.
After the seal seat is in place, ensure that it is clean and has
not been marred.
10.
Using a clean cloth, wipe the shaft and make certain that it is
perfectly clean.
11.
Secure the adapter on the motor mounting face. Reuse any
shims or spacers which may have been removed. Carefully
guide motor shaft through the seal seat.
12.
Apply a light coating of soapy water to the inside rubber
portion of seal head and slide onto the shaft (with the
sealing face first) so that the rubber portion is just over the
shaft shoulder.
Do not touch or wipe the face of the carbon (black) part of the
seal head.
13.
Replace any shim washers which may have been removed
in disassembly.
14.
Screw the impeller back in place, tightening until it is against
the shaft shoulder.
15.
Remount O-ring and casing on the adapter.
IMPORTANT:
Always inspect casing O-ring gasket (Ref. No. 5)
whenever the unit is disassembled. Replace when cracked or worn.
SHIM ADJUSTMENT
When installing a replacement impeller (Ref. No. 9) or motor (Ref. No.
1), it may be necessary to vary the number of shims (Ref. No. 8) to
insure proper running clearance between impeller and casing (Ref. No.
10).
Proceed as follows:
NOTE:
A proper running clearance is less than 0.0l0.
1.
For impeller replacement, add one 0.010" shim in addition to
those removed originally.
2.
For motor replacement, add two 0.0l0" shims removed
during assembly.
3.
Reassemble pump using MECHANICAL SEAL
REPLACEMENT for reference.
IMPORTANT:
Insure that casing is in place and check shaft to make
sure it is turning freely (use screwdriver slot or two flats at rear of
motor to turn shaft). If it turns freely, check to insure that casing cover
and casing are fitted metal-to-metal where they meet on outside. If
they are not metal-to-metal, tighten hex nuts (Ref. No. 12) and recheck
shaft for free turning. Tighten carefully turning shaft while tightening so
that motor bearings are not damaged in the event that too many shims
were installed. If shaft seizes before fasteners are completely tight,
disassemble pump and remove one shim and repeat reassembly.
