Five Star Seal 80 Series
Single, cartridge mounted, flexible stator pusher
seal designed for general service applications

Description
The 84/85 seals are cartridge mounted mechanical seals, designed for
ease of installation and reliable operation. No seal setting dimensions
are required. Rotatable setting devices provide proper alignment. The
exible stationary face design compensates for inadvertent misalignment
of the seal chamber face. Multiple springs provide uniform face loading
and are external of the pumpage, resisting clogging or hang-up. Installa-
tion according to the following steps will assure long trouble free life of
the 84/85 seals.
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.
• consult plant MSDS les for hazardous material regulations.
1.2 Disassemble equipment in accordance with equipment
manufacturer’s instructions to allow access to seal installation area.
1.3 Remove existing mechanical seal and gland or compression
packing and packing gland.
1.4 Make sure the shaft or sleeve and the seal housing face are
clean and free of burrs, cuts, dents, or corrosion that might cause
leakage past the sleeve gasket O-ring or gland gasket. See
Figures 1 & 2. Replace worn shaft or sleeve if it is worn in the
sleeve gasket area. Remove sharp edges from keyways and
threads.
1.5 Check equipment dimensions to ensure that they are within the
dimensions shown in Figures 1 and 2. Critical dimensions include
shaft or sleeve OD (A), a chamber depth of at least dimension (G),
minimum and maximum seal housing bore (C), and the minimum
distance to the rst obstruction (K). See Figure 2.

1.6 Check gland bolting to ensure that bolt diameter (M) and bolt
circle diameter (L) conform to the dimensions shown in Figure 2.
1.7 Handle the 84/85 with care, it is manufactured to precise
tolerances. The stationary and rotating sealing faces are of
special importance. They are lapped at to within three light
bands (34.8 millionths of an inch). Keep the seal faces perfectly
clean at all times.
