Service

Palmetto style 1382 is a lower cost alternative to 1389 (stenciled 100% GFO®) that will not harm shaft sleeves. Excellent heat dissipation prevents glazing and scoring, increasing packing and sleeve service life. In addition, less energy is used to turn the shaft and a lower leak-off may be attained.

Typical Applications

1382 is recommended for rotating pumps and valves in virtually any chemical or abrasive slurry. It is an excellent choice for sludge, paper, chemical and mining pumps. Especially effective in asphalt pumps.
