Pump Mechanical Seal Setting Tool

PVC mechanical seal setting tool

This 2 piece tool with 4 different sized ends is used to seat the stationary pump mechanical seal section into the pump volute / body........... No more pushing the seal in with screwdrivers and pliers!
3 x flat surfaces of the following diameters -
29mm - suits 5/8" ceramic section (Aquaflo XP2, Circ-master and others)
33mm - suits 3/4" ceramic section (Spaquip Scorpio, Magnum, Maxiflow and others)
39mm - suits 1" ceramic section (large size not used on spa pumps)
1 x hollowed end - 41mm OD, 33mm ID - suits 5/8" cup seals (used on Waterway Executive, LX pumps, Spaquip QB, Spanet) - the spring loaded section of the seal fits inside the recessed area so the pressure is applied to the outer cup only.
Please note that this tool is NOT designed to seat seal sections installed onto impellers with sleeves, which are generally very easy to seat by hand.
Its use is limited to the seal section in the pump body only, whether it be ceramic or spring loaded section. To use this tool - simply select the correct diameter end, Lubricate the seal elastomer, and using hand pressure only with the tool perpendicular, push the seal fully home into its seat.
Note - mechanical seals should be lubricated with water or Sealube only.
Do not lubricate with Silicon grease, etc. or seal failure may result.
