The seal gland bushing which is used with the
Teflon seal is not the same as the seal gland
bushing used with the standard quad-ring
seal. The seal gland bushing with the Teflon
seal has an identification groove cut into the
outer diameter of the bushing. The grooved
bushings can only be used with the Teflon
seals and the non-grooved bushings used only
with the quad-ring seals.
