Goulds Mechanical Seal 10K169 / 10K173 — 16mm

Direct-fit 16mm mechanical seal replacement for Goulds vertical multistage pumps, built for reliable sealing in high-duty service with Silicon Carbide / Silicon Carbide (SiC/SiC) faces and Viton (FKM) elastomers.

Please Note: 10K169 and 10K173 share the same design and fit. Because we supply the upgraded SiC/SiC/Viton build as standard, our 10K169 meets the 10K173 material specification—the two references are interchangeable in our catalog.
