Abstract of the Disclosure A centrifugal pump of the hydraulic sealing type has a novel and improved sealing apparatus for establishing a hydraulic seal and limiting the flow of liquid from a pump casing into a reservoir or seal housing at one end of the pump casing, and a valve assembly in the seal housing has a valve member normally urged into engagement with the seal housing to isolate liquid in the seal housing from the casing when the pump is not in operation. When the pump is activated and brought up to speed, centrifugal force-responsive pivot members are operative to move the valve member away from sealed engagement with the seal housing to establish fluid communication between the seal housing and pump casing. The force-responsive pivot mem- bers are fully enclosed so as to be completely isolated from the liquid in the seal housing and yet be capable of operating directly in opposition to the resilient or spring-loaded valve to move the valve away from sealed engagement with the seal housing. An expeller ring at one end of the seal housing limits liquid flow into the seal housing when the pump is stopped and removes any liquid in the reservoir into the pump casing when the pump is
