Finish Thompson J100122 Bellows Seal Carbon Ceramic Viton
This is the factory bellows seal carbon ceramic viton for Finish Thompson GP22 and GP32 sealed centrifugal pumps. It is the mechanical shaft seal for the larger GP pumps, pairing a carbon face with 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.
It is one of the parts worth renewing on schedule instead of waiting for a fault. Dry running kills a mechanical seal faster than anything else, and a pump started against a closed suction can ruin one in seconds. Check the pump build before ordering, because these pumps are offered in more than one material and size combination and the alternatives look similar on the shelf.

Frequently Asked Questions
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.
Q: Should anything else be replaced at the same time?
Whatever the teardown exposes. Elastomers and bushings are inexpensive and are best renewed while the pump is already apart.
Q: What causes most premature failures on this part?
Running the pump outside what it was specified for, whether that is temperature, viscosity, dry running or an incompatible chemical.
