Congratulations
You have just purchased a reliable, long-life product manufactured by
the leading manufacturer of sealing systems in the world. With proper
installation and operation, this P-50 seal can be a valuable contributor to

This P-50 seal is a cartridge mounted mechanical seal, designed for
ease of installation and reliable operation. No seal setting dimensions
