INSTALLATION DATE_____

CAUTIONS

These instructions are general in nature. It is assumed that the installer is familiar with seals and certainly with the requirements of their plant for the successful use of mechanical seals. If in doubt, seek assistance from someone in the plant who is familiar with  seals or delay the installation until a seal representative is available. All necessary auxiliary arrangements for successful operation (heating, cooling, flushing) as well as safety devices must be employed. These decisions are to be made by the user. The decision to use this seal or any other Chesterton seal in a particular service is the customer’s responsibility.
Do not touch the mechanical seal for any reason while it is operating. Lockout or uncouple the driver prior to personal contact with the seal. Do not touch the mechanical seal while it is in contact with hot or cold fluids . Ensure that all the mechanical seal  materials are compatible with the process fluid. This will prevent possible personal injury.

TRANSPORT AND STORAGE

Transport and store seals in their original packaging.
Mechanical seals contain components that may be subject to alteration and aging. It is therefore important to observe the following conditions for storage:

• Dust free environment
• Moderately ventilated at room temperature
• Avoid exposure to direct sunlight and heat
• For elastomers, storage conditions according to ISO 2230 should be observed.

PREPARATION FOR INSTALLATION

4.1 Equipment

If practical, place the dial indicator tip on the end of the shaft
sleeve or on a step in the shaft to measure end play. Alternately
push and pull the shaft in the axial direction. If the bearings are
in good condition, end play should not exceed 0,13 mm (.005″).| If possible, attach a base dial indicator to the shaft and rotate
both the indicator and shaft slowly while reading the runout
of the stuffing box face. Misalignment of the stuffing box face
relative to the shaft should not exceed 0,005 mm TIR per mm
(.005 in per inch) of shaft diameter.
The stuffing box face must be flat and smooth enough to
seal the gland. Surface roughness should be 3,2 microns
(125 microinch) Ra maximum for gaskets and 1,1 micron (45
microinch) Ra for O-Rings. Steps between halves of split case
pumps should be machined flat. Make sure the stuffing box is
clean and clear along its entire length.

Remove all sharp corners, burrs, and scratches on the shaft,
especially in areas where the O-Ring will slide, and polish if
necessary to achieve a 1,1 micron (45 microinch) Ra finish.
Make sure the shaft or sleeve diameter is within 0,05 mm
(.002″) of nominal.| Use a dial indicator to measure the shaft runout in the area
where the seal will be installed. Runout should not exceed
0,001 mm TIR per mm (.001 in per inch) of shaft diameter.

4.2 Mechanical Seal

1. Check to ensure that the O-Rings installed in this seal are compatible with the fluid being sealed.

2. The 1/4 dog set screws go into the smaller holes in the sleeve. The dimples on the outside diameter of the lock ring indicate the position of the 1/4 dog set screws. Do not disengage these screws from the sleeve when positioning the seal. The cup point set  screws go through the larger holes in the sleeve. Make sure all screws are engaged in the sleeve but do not protrude into the inside diameter bore.
   Also, when repositioning or removing the seal, make sure the centering clips and flat head screws are engaged.

3. Centering clips have been preset at the factory. If for any reason you loosen or remove the centering clip flat head screws, retighten as follows prior to installing the seal on the equipment: Tighten the flat head screw finger tight, ensuring the centering clips  are properly engaged.
   Then using a hex key, tighten flat head screw an additional 1/8 turn. This will approximate the 4,5 Nm (40 inch-pounds) of torque for sizes 25 mm – 65 mm (1.000″ – 2.650″), 7,8 Nm (70 inch-pounds) of torque for 70 mm – 120 mm (2.750″ – 4.750″) set  at the factory.

SEAL INSTALLATION

Tools required for installation: Hex key and
grease (supplied with seal). Open end or
socket/torque wrench (size dependent on
mounting bolt size; supplied by customer).
IMPORTANT: As manufactured seal data can
be accessed from the installed RFID tag; you
may also choose to fill in seal data reference
from the box label on the cover page of these
instructions. Remove plastic from fluid ports
(not shown).| Apply a thin film of grease to the shaft/O-Ring (V)
and slide seal onto the shaft by pushing on the
gland. CAUTION: Ensure that all set screws
are engaged through the sleeve but do not
protrude into the sleeve inside diameter bore.| Reassemble the pump and make necessary
shaft alignments and impeller adjustments.
The impeller can be reset at any time, as long
as the centering clips are in place and the
seal set screws are loosened while the shaft is
being moved. (see Figure 4) for port orientation.
CAUTION: See (4.2.3 Preparation for
Installation – Mechanical Seal step 3.)

Tighten the gland bolts evenly. IMPORTANT:
The gland bolts must be tightened before
tightening the set screws onto the shaft. Gland
bolt torque is dependent on application.
IMPORTANT: Piping connections should not be
made prior to tightening the gland bolts.| IMPORTANT: 1/4 dog set screws 1 must be
tightened FIRST and cup point set screws

6.2 Take all necessary precautions and follow normal safety procedures before starting the equipment

• Please contact Chesterton Mechanical Seal Application Engineering for assistance regarding cartridge seals.

DECOMMISSIONING/EQUIPMENT SHUT DOWN

Ensure that the equipment is electrically isolated. If the equipment has been used on toxic or hazardous fluids, ensure that the equipment is correctly decontaminated and made safe prior to commencing work. Ensure that the pump is isolated and check that the  stuffing box is drained from any fluid and pressure is fully released. IMPORTANT: Replace centering clips prior to seal removal from equipment! Remove the seal from equipment in the reverse order from installation instructions. In case of disposal, ensure the  local regulations and requirements for disposal or recycling of the different components in the seal are adhered to.

SPARE PARTS

Use only Chesterton original spare parts. Use of non-original spare parts represents risk of failure, danger to persons/equipment and voids the product warranty.
Spare Parts Kit can be purchased from Chesterton, referencing the (as manufactured) seal data from the installed RFID tag or from recorded data on the cover page of these instructions.

SEAL REBUILD

9.1 Seal Rebuild
A correctly installed and operated mechanical seal requires little maintenance. It is recommended to periodically check the seal for leakage. Some components of a mechanical seal such as seal rings, O-Rings, etc., require replacement over time.
While a seal is installed and operating, maintenance is not possible. Therefore it is recommended that a spare seal unit or a spare parts kit be held in stock to allow quick repair.

1. Note the condition of the parts, including elastomer surfaces and gland springs. Analyze the cause of failure and correct the problem, if possible, before reinstalling the seal.
2. Clean all elastomer and gasket surfaces with an approved cleaning solvent that complies with local and site regulations.
