Description
This P-200 seal is a dual, cartridge mounted, end face mechanical seal,
designed for ease of installation. No seal setting dimensions are
required. Removable setting devices provide proper alignment. Installa-
tion according to the following steps will ensure a long trouble-free life
of the P-200 seal.
1 Equipment Check
1.1 Follow plant safety regulations prior to equipment disassembly:
• Lock out motor and valves.
• Wear designated personal safety equipment.
• Relieve any pressure in the system.
•ConsultplantMSDSlesforhazardousmaterialregulations.

1.4 Make sure the shaft or sleeve is free of burrs, cuts, dents or
corrosion that might cause leakage past the sleeve gasket, as
shown on the assembly drawing. Replace worn shaft or sleeve.
Remove sharp edges from keyways and threads.
1.5 Make sure the seal housing face is clean and free of burrs, cuts,
dents or corrosion that might cause leakage at the gland gasket or
misalign the seal gland.
1.6 Check equipment dimensions to ensure they are within the
dimensions shown in Figures 1 and 2. Critical dimensions include

2 P-200 Seal Installation
Tools needed:
• Open-end wrench for gland nuts
• Allen wrenches provided
• Silicone lubricant provided
2.1 Lubricate the shaftorsleeveODlightlywiththesiliconelubricant
provided and slide the complete P-200 cartridge seal onto the
shaft, with the end with the setting devices toward the bearing
housing.
2.2 Install pump back plate (sealchamber/stufngbox),Figure3.
Position the P-200 seal gland ush connection, port a in Figure 4,
in the 3 o’clock position for normal installations with CW rotation
(9o'clockforCCWrotation)foroptimumheatremoval.Alternate
positioning of the gland may be necessary with some pump designs
to permit seal piping to clear the bearing housing. Refer to the
assembly drawing that is supplied with the seal for proper position-
ing. Bolt the back plate in place on the bearing housing.

2.3 Position the P-200 cartridge gland with the gland gasket in place
againstthepumpbackplate(sealchamber/stufngbox)face,
installatwashersonthestudstopreventmisalignment,and
tighten the gland nuts evenly, cross-staggering the adjustment
of the nuts. Do not over tighten.
2.4 Assemble the pump, adjust the bearings, set the impeller
and connect the coupling so that the shaft is in its operating
axialposition.Anysubsequentaxialadjustmentoftheshaft
requires resetting of the seal. Connect pump piping,
(see Section 3) allowing no pipe strain on the pump casing.
2.5 Tighten the set screws ontheP-200cartridgecollarwiththeAllen
wrench provided.
2.6 Remove setting devices by removing the cap screws with the

shaft rotation.

In most cases the natural cooling of the piping and tank are
adequate to remove seal-generated heat. Cooling coils are
availablewiththesupplytanktoextendoperatinglimits.
The supply tank can be used with the P-200 seal in the dual

operating modes.
Recommendation: For enhanced seal performance and reduced
coking, use DuraClearasabarrieruid.RefertoDuraClearbrochure
FSD123 or contact a Flowserve seal application engineer for further
details.
3.6 Goodpipingpractices:
• minimizelinelosses
• use large diameter tubing
• only upward sloping lines
• use long radius bends
• minimizecomponentlosses
• optimizeforthermosyphon
• check rotation direction
• test for leaks

4 Operation
FollowingtheserecommendationswillensuremaximumMTBPM
of the P-200 seal.
4.1 Do not exceed corrosion limits. The P-200 is designed to resist
corrosionbymostchemicals.However,donotexposetheP-200
materials of construction to products outside of their corrosion
limits. The P-200 assembly drawing lists the materials of
construction. For chemical resistance ratings, consult Flowserve.
4.2 Do not exceed the pressure-velocity (P-V) limits.
4.3 Do not exceed the temperature limits of the P-200.
The materials of construction are listed on the assembly drawing.
For the temperature limits of materials, consult Flowserve.
Turn on any cooling water to the supply tank before start-up.
4.4 Do not start up or run the P-200 dry.Buffer/barrieruidmust
be in the seal cavity at all times during pump operation.
For special problems encountered during installation, contact your

5 Repair
This product is a precision sealing device. The design and dimension
tolerancesarecriticaltosealperformance.Onlypartssuppliedby
Flowserve should be used to repair a seal. To order replacement parts,
refertothepartcodeandB/Mnumber.Asparebackupsealshouldbe
stocked to reduce repair time.
When seals are returned to Flowserve for repair, decontaminate the
seal assembly and include an order marked "Repair or Replace."
A signed certicate of decontamination must be attached.
A Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS) must be enclosed for any
product that came in contact with the seal. The seal assembly will be
inspected and, if repairable, it will be rebuilt, tested, and returned.
