Design the mechanical seal to accommodate the same seal elements across both units. 2. Design the mechanical seal to attach to each unit's unique headcover. D. Design and supply shaft sleeves for Unit 1 and Unit 2, if needed for selected method. Sleeve may not be designed and supplied if mechanical seal rotating equipment can be installed directly onto shaft.
