Bell Gossett Bg P48690A Volute Body Casing Gasket

Product Description

The BELL GOSSETT BG P48690A is a volute body casing gasket designed to seal the mating surfaces between pump volute bodies on twelve bolt-hole configurations. This gasket maintains a leak-free seal at the volute casing joint, preventing fluid bypass and pressure loss within the pump assembly. It is a direct replacement component used during pump overhaul, resealing, or casing disassembly on Bell Gossett circulation pumps found in hydronic heating and cooling systems. Installation is performed by licensed plumbers, pipefitters, or HVAC mechanical contractors during routine pump service or after impeller and seal replacement.

This volute body casing gasket is used in commercial and residential hydronic systems where Bell Gossett Series 1510, Series 1531, Series 80, Series e-1510, Series e-1531, Series e-1532, and Series e-80 pumps are installed. It is a standard service part specified during pump teardown and reassembly. Technicians typically source this gasket as part of a planned maintenance kit or when resealing a pump after mechanical seal replacement or impeller inspection.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by qualified plumbers, pipefitters, or HVAC mechanical technicians. Before service, isolate the pump using shutoff valves on the suction and discharge sides, de-energize the pump motor at the disconnect, and relieve system pressure before disassembling the volute casing. Clean all mating surfaces thoroughly before seating the new gasket to ensure a proper seal, and torque all casing bolts evenly in a cross pattern per the equipment manufacturer's published specifications.
