Product Description

Pumps and valves under general service conditions are protected from fluid leaks with compression packing seals

Acrylic yarn impregnated with PTFE endures so well that it resists wear and

Break-in lubricants based on petroleum reduce break-in time and frictional heat, thereby extending packing life

A maximum pressure of 1,500 pounds per square inch is permitted

It operates at temperatures ranging from -10 to 450 degrees F (-23 to 232 degrees C).

Questions & Answers

How long does it last in a marine environment? Does it have the ability to be used as a shaft for props?

It was used for a 20" knife gate valve that has acidic conditions. It is rugged, so it can take whatever the environment throws at it. The type of lubricant I used and whether it was considered safe for use on boats I don't remember. The best place to get this information is from the original equipment manufacturer. It might be useful to me, though.

Does the packing function on a rotary coupling on a drill rig that is used for a water well?

While I do not know how it will work in that application, it works equally well in a marine drive shaft stuffing box, for example.

This is incredible, I should have switched over from flax yarn packaging years This is a remarkable achievement

5/5

A few times each year we use a 60 gallon agitator tank with a shaft through the bottom to mix sugar syrup to feed bees in the late fall, but I am not a fluid engineer. Prior to this I had used an old style flax based valve gland seal, but even with careful adjustments during breakage, the seal would only last a few months. Over time, all the air that's inside would leak out. It would result in a sticky mess covering everything on the floor when the drips from the shaft seal hit the spinning bottom flywheel. We do not require food grade, so I was advised to try the Palmetto 1347A PTFE lubricated packaging. My new stuffing box was installed today and I ran the mixer for hours. There was no leakage through the stuffing box, not even a drip! After a century of using the same agitator tank and stuffing box, I cannot believe I have waited all these years to get this stuff. It appears to be a real improvement over our old tank and stuffing box.

The shaft seal is made from flax teflon

5/5

The seal material is on a spool of very high quality and is made to the appropriate diameter rather than being formed after.

The seal of a reciprocating shaft pump

5/5

Using it on a 5/8" X 4"stroke pump shaft and pumping 135 degrees of water at a pressure of up to 150 pounds, it pumps water at 135 degrees at high Nothing to worry about. Yes, I let it leak from 1 to 3 The average person drips two drops a minute out of stupidity and.
