*3/16" PTFE IMPREGNATED FLAX PACKING

PTFE Impregnated Flax Pump Packing, 3/16 inch x 225 feet is an industrial sealing product for rotating shafts, valve stems, glands, stuffing boxes and related maintenance applications. The product uses flax yarn impregnated with PTFE to combine conformability with lower-friction sealing characteristics. The 3/16 inch profile and 225 feet length make the size easy to compare against existing equipment, stuffing box requirements, flange layouts, or maintenance inventory. This style of packing is commonly used around stuffing boxes, glands, rotating shafts, valve stems, and other areas where controlled compression helps limit leakage. Buyers can evaluate it as pump packing, compression packing, valve packing, gland packing, or braided packing depending on the equipment and service conditions. For plant maintenance teams, the material and dimensional details help narrow selection before confirming pressure, temperature, media, and equipment requirements. The listed packaging detail, 5 lb. box - approx. 225 ft., adds practical context for purchasing, stocking, and matching the product to job requirements. As with any sealing product, final selection should consider the equipment design, media, temperature range, shaft or stem condition, and installation method.
