[PSUBS-MAILIST] stuffing box?

[hank pronk via Personal_Submersibles]

Roberto,
I would use a Chesterton 155 mechanical seal, or better yet a magnetic coupler.  There is a 155 seal on ebay right now sitting at 80 dollars with 6hr to go.  The seal is a number 9 that means 1  1/8 shaft size.  That seal is 1,700 dollars in Vancouver Canada, well worth it to upsize the shaft to fit the seal.
