Installation Steps Our Products.

Shaft and Housing Preparation

Clean the shaft and housing bore thoroughly. Remove burrs or sharp edges with emery cloth.
Lubricate the shaft and O-ring contact surfaces lightly.

Install the Stationary Seal Ring

Place the stationary ring (e.g., seat) into the housing bore. Ensure it sits flat and square.
Use an installation sleeve or soft hammer to gently tap it into place (if press-fit design).

Mount the Rotating Assembly

Slide the rotating component (e.g., primary ring, spring, and sleeve) onto the shaft.
Align the rotating face with the stationary ring. Avoid tilting.

Secure Components

Tighten set screws or fasteners evenly in a cross-pattern. Follow the manufacturer’s torque specifications.
Ensure the spring is evenly compressed and not over-tensioned.

Reassemble Equipment

Reinstall the pump impeller, gland plate, or other components as per equipment guidelines.
Verify the shaft rotates freely without binding.

Test Run

Start the equipment at low pressure and check for leaks or abnormal noise.
Gradually increase to operational conditions and monitor performance.
