3.4 Connection of water seal piping
Water seal piping is required only when pump is operating under suction lift or when single mechanical
seal is used. It is not necessary when pump is operating under suction head or when double mechanical
seal is furnished, in which cases the four openings in the stuffing box and casing must be plugged.
On all iron pumps or when the pump is handling hydro-carbons, solvents and similar liquids, a grease
lubricator, using a non-solvent grease, should be fitted into the tapped opening in stuffing boxes (
).
Figure 12:
If the liquid contains abrasives or paper stock particles (white water applications) or is gritty, omit the wa-
ter seal piping and plug the tapped openings in the casing. Pipe a clean water supply with a shut-off
valve to each of the openings at the top of stuffing boxes at a pressure slightly higher than the suction
pressure on the pump.
The water seal piping, when required, is shipped separately in the box of fittings accompanying the
pump. When this piping is used, one end is attached to the tapped opening in the casing and the other
end to the tapped opening on the top of the stuffing box with connectors furnished. See
.
3.5 Connection of piping to quenching gland
The stuffing box gland can be operated with or without quenching water. Quenching is recommended on
applications where the liquid pumped is:
