20458926-HP-Seal-Installation-Tool-Kit.298.3-1
Product Name: HP Seal Installation Tool Kit (Part No. 20458926)
Description:
The HP Seal Installation Tool Kit 20458926 is a specialized set of tools designed for the safe and precise replacement of high-pressure dynamic seal assemblies in waterjet intensifier pumps . Unlike generic hand tools, this kit is engineered to guide new seals into the high-pressure cylinder bore without rolling, pinching, or cutting the delicate elastomeric sealing lips against sharp internal threads or edges .
The primary function of this tool is to serve as a "sleeve" or "mandrel" that ensures the seal is inserted perfectly concentrically. Using the correct tool protects the cylinder bore from scratching and prevents damage to the new seal, which is critical for achieving a leak-proof fit under pressures up to 60,000 PSI (approximately 4,137 bar) .
Applications:
Professional installation of high-pressure (HP) seal assemblies in waterjet intensifier cylinders .
Removal of old seal components from the high-pressure cylinder bore .
Used as an essential accessory during pump rebuilds and major maintenance procedures .
Compatible with intensifier assemblies from KMT, H2O Jet, and other standard waterjet systems .
Features:
Precision Sizing: Manufactured to exact dimensions for the specific diameter of the high-pressure cylinder .
Seal Protection: The smooth, non-abrasive surface prevents cutting or scratching of new polyurethane seal material during insertion .
Concentric Alignment: Ensures the seal is pushed in straight (coaxially) without jamming or tilting, which would cause immediate leakage .
Durable Construction: Hardened steel or aluminum construction with a protective coating to withstand the wet workshop environment .
Professional Necessity: Identified in service documentation as a required tool to prevent seal damage during reassembly .
Maintenance:
Clean Immediately: After each use, thoroughly wipe the tool clean of grease, water, and metal debris to prevent rust or corrosion .
Inspect for Nicks: Regularly check the leading edges and sleeve surface for burrs or nicks; a damaged tool will ruin new seals .
Lubricate: For tools with moving parts, apply a light machine oil or high-pressure grease to maintain smooth operation .
Storage: Store the tool kit in a clean, dry, protective case to keep the precision surfaces safe from impact .
