Overview
The Flex-A-Seal 28/17 mechanical seal is designed to contain media within pump housings where rotating shafts enter stationary casings. As an industrial-grade seal, the 28/17 model provides reliable fluid containment and extends equipment service life by minimizing leakage in centrifugal pumps, mixers, compressors, and other rotating equipment commonly found in processing plants, water treatment facilities, and manufacturing operations.
