Installation & Compatibility Notes

Before installation, disconnect power to the pump and relieve system pressure. Remove the pump’s strainer cover and unwind the lock ring. Separate the motor and wet end, inspect for wear or corrosion, clean the motor shaft/bearing area, then install the new SPX3200E seal plate ensuring proper gasket seal and torque settings. Reassemble the pump and confirm leak-free operation under load. Always confirm your pump’s model designation and voltage to ensure compatibility.

Maintenance Tips

• Inspect around the motor housing and seal plate area annually for signs of water seepage or corrosion.
• During winterizing, ensure the pump is fully drained and the motor housing cleared of moisture before storage.
• If the pump begins to show increased noise, reduced flow, or premature bearing failure, check the seal plate condition and consider replacement with SPX3200E.
• Always use compatible gaskets and O-rings when reassembling the pump to prevent leaks or performance loss.
