NOTICE:
Make sure to lubricate the packing. Failure to do so may result in shortening the life of the
packing and the pump.
Before packing the stuffing box, make sure box is dean and contains no foreign material. If unit has a
metal lantern ring, assembled with the pump, make sure ring is outside the stuffing box.
Stuffing box packing is furnished in the box of fittings which accompanies the pump. When packing the
stuffing box, refer to the
for the arrangement of packing rings and lantern ring.
Depending upon the particular pump and/or application, the lantern ring may be in the middle or bottom
of the stuffing box, incorporated in another part or not used at all.
Some packing rings are die-formed and special care must be taken during installation. To install, twist the
ring sideways just enough to get it around the shaft or sleeve. Do not attempt to pull rings straight out.
See image below. Another form of packing ring is the bulk-type packing which is cut to the proper length.
Each piece should be placed around the shaft or sleeve and the ends of the packing should just meet to
form a smooth, perfect ring. If necessary, the ends should be trimmed to obtain this fit.
