Finish Thompson J100108 Bellows Seal Carbon Ceramic Viton
Finish Thompson supplies the J100108 as the bellows seal carbon ceramic viton for GP11 sealed centrifugal pumps. It is the mechanical shaft seal that keeps pumped fluid from tracking out along the shaft, with a carbon face running against a ceramic seat and a Viton bellows. It is built in carbon, ceramic and Viton FKM, which is what decides where it can safely be used.
Most pumps see this part replaced well before the pump itself needs attention. A weeping seal is a seal that has run dry, been shocked by a thermal swing, or worn its faces, and once it drips it will not recover. Confirm the material and size against your pump before ordering, as the same position is offered in several variants across this range.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Does fitting this affect the pump warranty?
Using the factory part keeps the pump to its original specification, which is what any warranty position depends on.
Q: How should the pump be flushed before service?
With a fluid known to be compatible, so the parts can be handled safely and the old chemical is not carried into the rebuild.
Q: Can the pump be run briefly without this part?
No. Every component in the wet end carries a load or seals a joint, and running incomplete risks far costlier damage.
Q: Is this the genuine manufacturer part?
Yes. It is the factory component built to the original specification rather than a pattern copy.
