When selecting a mechanical seal, confirming the correct bore size is just as important as choosing the right seal type and face combination. For many pumps, a standard bore will suffice. However, certain pump models and applications require an oversized bore. Misidentifying this detail can lead to incorrect orders, failed installations, and costly downtime.
This article explains what an oversized bore is, when it’s required, and how Paradigm Seals™ makes the selection process simple.
