INSTALLING NEW SEAL
1. NOTICE: Seal faces are highly polished and lapped. Handle with
care. Any mar, nick or scratch on seal face will cause it to leak.
BE SURE to install with polished faces toward each other.
2. Clean polished surface of ceramic seat with clean cloth.
3. Wet O-Ring around ceramic seat with liquid soap.
4. Press stationary (ceramic) half of seal cavity into cavity firmly and
squarely with thumb pressure. If it does not seat properly, remove and
place seal face up on bench. Re-clean adapter/seal plate cavity. Seal
should now seat correctly.
5. If seal does not seat after re-cleaning adapter/seal plate cavity, place
a cardboard washer over polished face of seal and carefully press
into place using a piece of 1" standard pipe as a press (Figure 4).

free of dirt, foreign particles, scratches and grease.

face.

ring on rotating half of seal.

over end of shaft sleeve.
