TUB SEAL
There are 2 Tub Seal designs, the original Face Seal and the new Triple Lip Seal introduced at series 17.
Face Seal
The tub Face Seal consists of the seal face and seal body.
NOTE: All parts of the seal must be replaced if either of the sealing surfaces are damaged.
The seal face fits into a recess in the under- side of the basket hub assembly. Also, the seal body installs in the cavity on the top side of the bearing and seal housing. The spin bearing is located in a cavity on the under- side of the bearing and seal housing.
Each of the two (2) sealing parts, the seal face and the seal body, have sealing faces which are brought into contact with one another when the basket hub assembly is threaded down on the drive tube. The springs in the seal body exert pressure to keep the sealing faces in contact.
