GRAPHITE PACKING - 1/4" X 8'

Valve stems and pump shafts need a packing material that seals under repeated turning without drying out, and this 1/4" X 8' graphite packing delivers a durable, self-lubricating seal. The graphite-impregnated rope packs into the stuffing box to stop leaks around a rotating or reciprocating shaft.

Key Features:

• Graphite-Impregnated Rope -- Self-lubricating material seals and resists friction wear.
• 1/4" X 8' Sizing -- Sized for standard valve and pump packing applications.
• Heat and Chemical Resistant -- Withstands hot water, steam, and common plumbing chemicals.
• Compression-Set Seal -- Packs into the stuffing box and compresses to seal around the stem.
• Long Service Life -- Graphite construction resists drying and cracking over repeated use.

Where to Use:

• Valve stem repacking -- Stopping leaks around a valve stem in steam or water service
• Pump shaft sealing -- Repacking pump stuffing boxes to stop shaft leakage
• Boiler and steam systems -- Sealing packing glands on high-temperature steam equipment
