Step 12
Installing the O-Ring and Rotating Half of the Mechanical Seal
Install the o-ring onto the sealplate as shown in the picture. The o-ring should not be
twisted or rolled.
Place one side of the o-ring over the sealplate. With two fingers, stretch the o-ring over
the other side while being careful not to roll the o-ring.
Ensure the o-ring is flat against the flange of the sealplate.
Step 13 (3 phase, 3HP and 5HP motors only!!!)
Applying Thread Locking Compound to the Impeller Threads
(3 phase, 3HP and 5HP motors only!!!)
Apply a drop of thread locking compound to the impeller threads prior to installation.
This process will help prevent the impeller from spinning off the shaft during a
reverse rotation.
When the impeller is screwed onto the motor shaft, the thread locking compound will
screw into the threads along the entire shaft.
