It seals the rotating motor shaft where it passes through the seal plate so water stays in the wet end. This seal is replaced during pump motor service or when the pump is leaking at the motor face. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhy This Part Matters\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e A leaking shaft seal is one of the fastest ways to ruin a motor because water can reach the bearings. Even a small drip can turn into a full motor failure if it is ignored. Replacing the shaft seal protects the motor and stops equipment pad leaks. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eKey Features and Specifications\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003eManufacturer part number SPX2700SAV\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eViton shaft seal\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eFor Hayward MaxFlo VS 500\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eSeals water at the motor shaft interface\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eCommon service item during motor replacement\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eInstallation and Fitment Guidance\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Keep sealing surfaces clean and avoid touching seal faces during installation.
