Ensuring Purity from Source to Tap: NSF/ANSI 61 Certified Mechanical Seals

In the municipal water industry, compliance isn’t optional, it’s the law. As regulations around the Safe Drinking Water Act tighten across North America, water treatment facilities require components that guarantee safety. Flexaseal Engineered Seals and Systems provides peace of mind with mechanical seal assemblies that are fully certified to NSF/ANSI 61 standards, ensuring that no harmful contaminants leach into the potable water supply.

What is NSF/ANSI 61 and Why Does It Matter?

NSF/ANSI 61 is the legally recognized health effects standard in North America for all device components that come into contact with drinking water. From the intake pump to the distribution network, every part of the system must be vetted for safety.

While many manufacturers only offer “compliant materials” (certifying just an O-ring or a specific carbon grade), Flexaseal goes a step further. We provide certification for the entire mechanical seal assembly. This rigorous testing ensures that our seals meet the strict requirements for lead and chemical leaching, simplifying your compliance documentation and reducing liability.

Our Certified Solutions for Water & Wastewater

We combine our robust, American-made sealing technology with certified safety. Whether you need a split seal for a heavy vertical turbine or a standard cartridge for an ANSI pump, Flexaseal has a certified solution ready to ship.

The Style 85 Split Cartridge Seal

Easy Installation without Equipment Teardown

The Style 85 is the ideal solution for large vertical pumps and equipment that is difficult or time-consuming to disassemble.

  • Fully Split, Two-Piece Cartridge Design: Install the seal without dismantling the pump, saving hours of maintenance time.
  • NSF 61 Certified Assembly: The first choice for potable water vertical turbine pumps where large shaft sizes and challenging installations are the norm.
  • Leak-Free Reliability: Designed to handle shaft runout and vibration common in large water movers.

The VSMS3 Single Cartridge Seal

The Industry Standard for ANSI, Vertical Turbine, and Industrial Pumps

The VSMS3 (Vantage Series) brings reliability and standardization to your water processing facility.

  • Robust Construction: A stable stationary multi-spring design that resists clogging from sediment or particulates often found in raw water intake.
  • Universal Fit: Fits standard ANSI, Vertical Turbine, and other pumps used throughout treatment plants.
  • Certified Safety: Complete assembly certification ensures that your primary process pumps are fully compliant with drinking water standards.
