should be compared to the Cartex

Advantages of Ansitex over ISC Seal

Throttle bushing
ANSITEX
ISC Seal

robust heavy duty bushing, forms second

sliding face, when pushed out
small fragile bushing

Interchangeability
ANSITEX uses the same sleeve for all three seal versions. ISC needs
different sleeve for the elastomer bellows version
Radial Clearance
Large radial clearance gives better heat exchange, less danger of
clogging with solids and a more robust design of internal seal parts
