Example: D1=14"
WT=0.25"
ID=8.125"
LRW Factor=1.65
Lt=0.75"
MID=14 + 0.25 + (8.125 x 0.25) + 1.65 - 0.75
MID=17.18"

Measure the calculated MID from the top of the
Locking Collar and place a mark with a permanent
marker or tape on the Shaft (Do not use anything
sharp to mark the shaft as this will create grooves
that will damage the O-rings in the seal housing.)
