🔍 Key Concepts

• Study which components are labeled as split or repairable on the shaft seal (e.g., split O-ring, face sealing strip). • Think about how a split-type construction allows maintenance without removing the shaft or dry-docking. • Consider whether the splash guard would normally rotate with the shaft or stay fixed to the stationary housing.

💭 Think About

• From the illustration, which parts are clearly made in two halves that can be opened around the shaft, and what does that suggest about repairs in place? • Looking at how the splash guard is attached, does it appear connected to the rotating shaft or clamped to a stationary structure? • If one of the statements were wrong, which component’s actual function or mounting (as shown) would contradict it?

✅ Before You Answer

• Verify which items in the illustration are explicitly marked split or shown in two pieces around the shaft. • Check how the splash guard is supported: by the shaft itself or by the outer housing/clamp ring. • Confirm whether the face, seat, and sealing strip could be accessed and changed with the shaft still in place, based on their split design.
