Franklin FMIH-40 mechanical shaft seal, part number 305463044, is the replacement mechanical shaft seal for the Franklin FMIH-40 hydraulic-driven water pump. It is the sealing component to select when servicing the pump shaft seal, rather than the cast-iron seal plate or seal cover.
Matching the shaft seal by its exact part number helps avoid ordering a housing component when the seal itself is needed. The carbon and ceramic sealing faces, FKM elastomer components, and 316 stainless steel components form the specified material combination for this replacement.
| Feature | Benefit |
|---|---|
| Mechanical shaft seal | Addresses the shaft-seal portion of the repair, not the surrounding castings. |
| FMIH-40 shaft-seal fit | Fits the FMIH-40 mechanical shaft-seal position. |

| Check | What to confirm |
|---|---|
| Pump identification | Confirm FMIH-40 and match the existing seal to 305463044. |
| Repair scope | Determine whether the seal plate or seal cover also needs attention; do not assume a seal kit is included. |
| Service conditions | Confirm that the pumped liquid and operating conditions suit the seal materials and the pump requirements. |
Follow the pump and equipment service instructions. Isolate the drive and relieve stored pressure before disassembly.
