Description

This sleeve is a small protective bushing that fits over a shaft or around a seal to reduce wear and maintain alignment. Replacing a worn sleeve helps restore smooth operation and prevents premature damage to adjoining parts. What it does:

• Protects shafts, seals or mating surfaces from abrasion and wear
• Maintains alignment to reduce vibration and noisy operation
• Helps prevent leaks where it interfaces with seals or gaskets
• Visible wear, scoring, or a loosened fit are common signs it needs replacement

What's included: One sleeve. Install notes:

• Always disconnect power and turn off water supply before servicing.
• Access may require removing panels or adjacent components.
• Inspect the mating shaft/seal and replace any damaged parts when installing the new sleeve.
• Use only manufacturer-approved parts and avoid lubricants unless the OEM specifies them.
