1/2" GFO GRAPHITE/PTFE PACKING

APG stocks the 11800500-05, a G.F.O. Compression Packing with a 1/2 inch square cross section. A 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 catalog record notes: 5 LB. Box - Approx. 28 FT.

This material stands up to elevated temperature and pressure, process media, and shaft wear. That behavior comes from the compound itself: G.F.O. offers a braided construction that conforms to the stuffing box, controlled leakage that lubricates and cools the shaft. Rated for service to approximately 550°F. It is not the right choice where over-tightening of the gland or running dry without flush are present.

You will find this material specified across mixers and rotary equipment, valves and agitators, and centrifugal and reciprocating pumps.

Reference part number 11800500-05 when ordering; the item is sold individually. Unit weight is approximately 5 lb. Review your operating media and conditions against this specification before installation.
