Universal Seal

The Universal Seal from Viking Pump is designed for marine environments and features an internal gear pump mechanism driven by an electric motor. This pump is specifically tailored for transfer service applications, handling fuel oil, lube oil, and other viscous liquids. Common issues with this pump include bushing wear, mechanical seal leakage, and gear or idler wear caused by contaminated liquid, as well as sticking in the relief valve. Regular maintenance, such as cleaning suction strainers and checking the relief valve, is recommended to ensure optimal performance. Additionally, spare parts like a seal kit, idler/gear set, bushings, relief valve parts, and gaskets are available to address maintenance needs promptly. Inspecting bushings and gears becomes crucial when the pump's capacity decreases, helping to identify and rectify issues before they lead to more serious problems.
