*3/8 TWISTED FIBERGLASS ROPE PACKING

11960375 is a Twisted Fiberglass Rope Compression Packing measuring a 3/8 inch square cross section. In service, this compression packing is cut into rings and stacked in a stuffing box, then compressed by the gland to seal a rotating or reciprocating shaft.

The material holds up against most chemicals, flame, and thermal shock. That behavior comes from the compound itself: Twisted Fiberglass Rope is valued for good thermal insulating properties and dimensional stability under heat. Applications involving strong alkalis or abrasive flexing call for a different compound.

Common environments for this compound include high-temperature insulation, boiler and heat exchanger service, and furnace and oven doors.

Reference part number 11960375 when ordering; the item is sold by the pound. Application requirements vary, so validate compatibility with your process conditions prior to installation.
