USSEAL10K64 10K64 Mechanical Seal Assembly Viton

Product Description

The USSEAL10K64 10K64 is a mechanical seal assembly designed for use in straight centrifugal pumps. It provides a reliable fluid-tight barrier between the rotating pump shaft and the pump housing, preventing leakage at the stuffing box. The seal features a Viton elastomer with Silicon Carbide sealing faces, a combination that resists chemical degradation and handles moderate-to-high temperatures well. This assembly is installed by licensed plumbers, pump technicians, and water system service professionals during routine seal replacement or pump rebuild work.

This seal assembly is suited for residential and light commercial water system applications involving straight centrifugal pump configurations. It is commonly installed during scheduled maintenance or in response to shaft seal failure indicated by visible leakage around the pump housing. The Viton material makes it appropriate for systems handling mildly aggressive fluids where standard buna seals may degrade prematurely. Compatible model information is listed below in the Compatibility section.

Key Features

• Viton elastomer construction for improved chemical and temperature resistance compared to standard buna seals
• Silicon Carbide sealing faces for hardness and wear resistance in demanding pump environments
• Designed as a direct-fit replacement seal assembly for compatible straight centrifugal pump models
• Drop-in style assembly simplifies field installation during pump rebuilds or seal replacement service calls

Compatibility

Compatible with Goulds model 3656 straight centrifugal pumps.

Installation Notes

Mechanical seal replacement is typically performed by a licensed plumber or pump service technician. Before beginning work, shut off all power to the pump at the disconnect and relieve system pressure completely. Handle Silicon Carbide seal faces with care during installation, as they are brittle and can crack if dropped or misaligned during assembly. Follow the pump manufacturer's service documentation for proper shaft preparation and seal seating procedures.
