AMP 810/820 SINGLE BELLOW SEAL 
 
The seal must be installed in accordance with these 
instructions and plant safety requirements.  If you are in 
doubt about any phase of installing this mechanical seal, 
stop the installation and get assistance.  The decision to use 
any American-Marsh mechanical seal in a particular service 
is the customer’s responsibility.  If the pumped fluid is 
hazardous or toxic, appropriate precautions must be taken to 
contain any seal leakage.  
 
PREPARATION 
 
1. 
Follow plant safety regulations prior to equipment 
disassembly: 
• 
lock out motor and valves  
• 
wear designated personal safety 
equipment 
• 
relieve any pressure in the system 
• 
consult plant MSDS files for hazardous 
material precautions 
 
2. 
Disassemble the pump in accordance with 
manufacturer’s instructions so the seal can be 
installed over the end of the shaft. 
 
3. 
The shaft or sleeve diameter must be within 
+0.000/-0.002 inch of nominal size. The shaft must 
be smooth (32
μ inch R
a
) and free from nicks, 
grooves and corrosion.  Replace the sleeve or 
shaft if worn.  Remove all sharp edges and burrs 
from shaft keyways, threads, and edges where the 
O-ring will slide. 
 
4. 
Maximum shaft runout at seal chamber face is 
0.002 inch FIM.  To measure, mount dial indicator 
on seal chamber and indicate shaft while rotating 
shaft.  
 
5. 
Maximum axial movement of shaft (end play) is 
0.005 inch FIM.  To measure, mount dial indicator 
on shaft and indicate seal chamber face while 
moving shaft axially.  
 
6. 
The seal chamber face must be smooth (63
μ inch 
R
a
) and free of nicks, burrs and corrosion.  
 
7. 
Maximum out-of-squareness of the seal chamber 
face to the shaft is 0.002 inch FIM, (0.003 inch 
FIM for shaft size > 3 inch).  To measure, mount 
dial indicator on shaft and indicate seal chamber 
face while rotating shaft. 
 
8. 
If the seal gland is piloted to the seal chamber, the 
register surface must be concentric to the shaft 
within 0.005 inch FIM. 
 
9. 
The bellow elastomer installed in the seal is 
identified on the seal drawing.  There may also be 
an alternate set of bellows packaged with the seal. 
Determine what bellow elastomer is suitable for 
your application by consulting an elastomer 
compatibility table.  Be sure the correct bellows for 
your application are installed in the seal. 
INSTALLATION 
 
1. 
Remove the protective packaging from the seal.  
Check for any damage, and wipe clean. 
2. 
Fit the seat/mating ring into the gland plate as 
described in the appropriate seat instruction 
manual.  Check that the gland plate o-ring or 
gasket is in position and will not be displaced 
during fitting, and then position the gland plate on 
the shaft clear of the seal location. 
3. 
Lubricate the shaft and bellows sparingly with 
silicone lubricant or with other lubricant compatible 
with the bellows and your machinery and product.  
Do not use petroleum lubricants on EPDM 
bellows.  Make sure the gland O-ring or gasket is 
in place (if required). 
 
4. 
Slide the AMP 810 or 820 seal onto the shaft.  If 
the seal doesn’t slide over the shaft, do not force.  
Ensure that the end of the shaft or sleeve is 
chamfered properly and that the parts are free of 
burrs. 
 
5. 
Wipe the lapped surface of the seal face/primary 
ring perfectly clean and dry.  Install the seal 
housing; locate the gland plate squarely on the 
fixing studs, and pull on the plate to compress the 
seal spring as necessary to fit the retaining nuts. 
 
6. 
Reassemble the pump components.  Orient the 
seal gland with the flush port up (if supplied), if 
access to piping permits.  Install and tighten the 
gland nuts evenly in a diagonal sequence. 
 
7. 
Connect and align piping and motor coupling. 
 
8. 
Rotate the shaft by hand to check for obstructions 
or contact.  Do not start the equipment dry. 
 
PIPING AND OPERATION 
 
1. 
Install an appropriate seal flush system.  The flush 
line should be connected to the seal gland. A flush 
from a clean external source (API Plan 32) can 
always be used, and should be used for abrasive 
services.  For clean cool products, use a 
discharge bypass (API Plan 11) or a suction 
bypass (API Plan 13).  For clean hot products, use 
a discharge bypass through a cooler (API Plan 
21), preferably with a throat bushing.  Vertical 
pumps should be piped to vent air from the seal.     
  
2. 
Do not start the pump dry.  Open valves to flood 
the pump.  Vent air from the pump casing and seal 
chamber.  Make sure the seal flush lines are clear. 
 
3. 
Observe the startup from a safe distance.  If the 
seal runs hot or squeals, stop the pump and check 
the flush system and gland centering.
