Tools needed:

 • Open end wrenches for nuts or bolts

 • Allen wrenches for cap screws and set screws

 • LubricantforO-rings

2.1 Attach the seal housing to vessel ange and/or gear box.

Each bottom entry mixer may have a different procedure for

attaching the seal and mixer drive to the vessel. Follow the

assembly instructions and recommendations of the manufac-

tureroftheequipment.DoNOTusethesealcanisterpiping

to lift and handle the seal.

2.1.1 Lubricate the shaft and ange bores over which O-rings

will slidewithanappropriateapprovedlubricant.TheSTline

of seals is typically used in bioprocessing applications where

onlydeionizedwaterisanacceptablelubricant.However,

because of the poor lubricating properties of deionized water

it is recommended that a better lubricant be used if possible.

2.1.2 Line up the shaft with the seal cartridge sleeve. Theseal
