Goulds Mechanical Seal — 16 mm (10K169 / 10K173)

Direct-fit 16 mm mechanical seal for Goulds vertical multistage pumps. Built for reliable sealing in high-duty service with hard faces and chemical-resistant elastomers.

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.
