🔍 Key Concepts

• Carefully match the item numbers in the illustration to the parts list, especially around the joint between the suction cover and the volute. • Note the difference between gaskets (flat seals between flanged parts) and packing rings (seal around a shaft). • Look at the material/description column to see which part is actually placed between the suction cover and volute to form a seal.

💭 Think About

• On the cross‑section, what part is physically located between the suction cover and volute where they bolt together? Is it a separate piece or just the metal faces? • Which of the listed answers corresponds exactly (or most closely) to the description and material given in the parts list for that sealing component? • Are packing rings or sealant shown anywhere at that joint, or are they used in a different location in the pump?

✅ Before You Answer

• Identify the item number at the joint between the suction cover (Item 3) and volute (Item 2) and read its full description in the table. • Confirm whether that component is described as PTFE/glass fiber reinforced, packing, or anything involving sealant. • Verify that the function of packing rings in this pump is to seal around the shaft, not between two stationary castings.
