long er bearing and mechanical seal life. Keyed to the
shaft with an 18-8 stainless steel key, the impeller aligns
axially with threaded shaft sleeves. Grooved impeller
skirts (in combination with casing rings) extend the life
of crit i cal clearances and increase the meantime between
pre ven ta tive main te nance (MTBPM).
Peerless Pump standard mechanical seals are
mount ed over a bronze shaft sleeve and rated for
tem per a tures up to 225o F. The optional packed
stuf ng box es hold a min i mum of ve packing rings.
Split glands fa cil i tate re mov al for repacking. The gland
bolts are swing type and made of steel with 18-8 stainless
steel nuts. Water seal piping and lan tern ring are optional.
As stan dard, the upper casing features a tapped and
plugged seal ush con nec tion.

Replaceable bronze shaft sleeves protect the carbon
steel shaft through the stuf ng box. The shaft sleeves
extend beyond the mechanical seal anges (or packing
glands) for maximum shaft protection. O-rings seal the
sleeves. Shaft and shaft sleeves are available in stain less
steel. The bear ings are single row, deep groove ball
type and grease lu bri cat ed. Average life is 100,000 hours.
Double row, outboard thrust bearings and oil lu bri ca tion
are optional.
Features
The AE Series pump uses casing material with a
min i mum of class 35 cast iron. To provide permanent
align ment of bear ings and all rotating parts, Peerless
Pump casts the bear ing bracket supports as a part of
the lower cas ing half. Re new able bronze casing rings
are doweled and shoul dered in the casing. The double
suction im pel ler is a single, cast bronze piece. Dynamic
bal anc ing gives the impeller vibration-free hy drau lic and
me chan i cal performance. The bal anc ing also provides
