1950’s Oberdorfer Pumps Catalog, Asbestos rings

Welcome, Jody

For your consideration a 1956 Oberdorfer Pumps Catalog. Oberdorfer Pump has been sued in asbestos cases.

This catalog does not mention asbestos but it does discuss pump packing and their stuffing box. The most likely places were asbestos would have been used. They do mention asbestos on the Oberdorfer-Pump web site. In very-good condition with 8 pages.

I found this information on the web, at Oberdorfer-Pumps.com

Seal or Packing Replacement: 
If pump is equipped with a lip seal, it should be replaced with a new seal at this point. Use a screwdriver to pry out of the pump body, press new seal in the same place. Note that lettering on seal casing must be on outside of pump, garter spring and lip facing the inside of the pump. If pump is equipped with a packing type seal (stuffing box), replacement of the two asbestos-graphite rings is done easiest after conclusion of pump assembly.
