US Seal Mfg. - Wet End Seal Lubricant 10 ml - LUBE-10ML

US Seal Mfg. – Wet End Seal Lubricant 10 ml

This US Seal Mfg. wet end seal lubricant, part number LUBE-10ML, is a 10 ml pack of water-soluble lubricant for fitting a replacement pump seal. It is an installation aid for the edge of the seal and its socket, not a lubricant for the sealing surfaces themselves, and that is the key point to understand before you use it.

What this wet end seal lubricant is for

This water-soluble lubricant is designed to help with the installation of wet end seals. If you are fitting a new seal into a pump, it is applied during assembly to help the parts of the seal go into place.

The pack holds 10 ml and is sold under the manufacturer part number LUBE-10ML. It is also listed under the reference U.S. SEALUBE LUBE-10ML, which may help if you are searching by the older or alternative wording.

How to apply the seal lubricant when fitting

Apply the lubricant before you insert the parts of the seal into the pump. The instructions are simple and cover two places only:

• Put the lubricant around the edge of the seal.
• Put the lubricant around the corresponding socket.
• Then insert the parts of the seal into the pump.

Working in this order means the lubricant is already in place at the points where the seal and the socket meet, before the parts are pushed home.

What not to lubricate

This lubricant is NOT designed to lubricate the surfaces of the seal itself. Those surfaces should be kept as clean as possible, so keep the lubricant to the edge of the seal and the socket and do not spread it across the seal faces.

If lubricant does reach the seal surfaces, clean them carefully after the new seal has been installed. Take your time with this step, because clean seal surfaces are the aim of the whole job.

Pack size and part number

The lubricant is supplied in a 10 ml pack, made by US Seal Mfg. and described as water-soluble. The part number to look for is LUBE-10ML.

The product information does not name specific pump models. It describes the product only as an aid for installing wet end seals, so use it for that purpose and follow the application steps above.
