Ampco 216E-80-1A Carbon Mechanical Seal
This is a genuine Ampco Pumps Carbon Mechanical Seal for 216 Series pumps, a wear component of the pump's mechanical seal assembly that keeps process fluid from migrating along the drive shaft.
Mechanical seals are precision-fit assemblies — seat, face, spring, and elastomer all have to be sized to the exact pump model — so match the Ampco part number exactly rather than a generic equivalent.
