Jabsco # SP6080-0523 Primary Seal Face Kit Carbon/Silicon Carbide

The Jabsco seal # SP6080-0523 is a Primary Seal Face Kit consisting of both the hard Carbon on Silicon Carbide mating faces. NOTE : this is not the complete pump seal and is only a Primary Face seal kit. 2 Primary seal face kits are required per pump. Additionally you may need a Seal Trim kit, and a Wave Spring. A complete seal is made of this Primary Face seal, a Seal Trim elastomer kit, and a Wave Spring. These are high quality hard Carbon on Silicon Carbide mating faces which make up part of the mechanical shaft seal and are designed to prevent leakage of product from the pump into the atmosphere and to prevent contamination by airborne micro-organisms. This seal design is unique to Jabsco and has a number of features which are a major benefit to the user. These primary seal faces are hydraulically pressure-balanced so that the contact pressure between the faces is controlled. This gives excellent sealing even at very low pressures as well as long life at high pressures. The Jabsco pump seal is specially developed to fully expose the sealing faces and the joints around the seal to the fluid, and is crevice-free, with no metal parts in fluid contact, and no moving parts or springs in fluid contact for highest standards of CIP and SIP capability. This ensures good circulation of product to avoid stagnant areas where bacteria can multiply, with good cooling of the seal faces and maximum flow of cleaning fluids around the seal. This design also ensures that, when the pump is stopped, fluid can drain from the seal area.
