Flowserve SLM-6000 - Manual (Page 2)

1 Cartridge Installation Instructions
The following instruction manual is designed to simplify the installation of a typical
SLM-6000 or SLM-6100 slurry seal. The SLM-6000 is a single seal with no quench port
connections, the SLM-6000 QCD adds an elastomer type quench containment device
(V-ring or lip seal) and 2 quench port connections to the single seal and the SLM-6100
adds a basic end face quench containment mechanical seal to make a tandem design
with a circulating device and 2 quench port connections to the single seal.
By reading this manual and following its guidelines, seal performance can be improved
by eliminating the chances of premature failure due to improper installation. In addition to
these instructions, consult the seal assembly drawing included for your specific seal design,
materials of construction, critical dimensions, and any auxiliary piping connections.
As you go through this manual you will find some of the instructions referenced with figure
numbers. These illustrations are provided to help you visualize what the instruction is trying
to explain. If these instructions are followed faithfully, the seal installation will be successful,
and maintenance personnel will understand the proper procedures to follow when pump
adjustment is necessary.
For special problems encountered during installation, contact your nearest Flowserve Sales
and Service Representative or Authorized Distributor.

2 Recommendations
To ensure that your SLM-6000 Mechanical Seal will provide you with the longest possible
life, we recommend the following:
2.1 New radial and thrust bearings be installed in the pump.
