5/16" NON-ASBESTOS ARAMID FIBER PACKING

Part number 11780312-01 is an Aramid Filament Compression Packing with a 5/16 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: 1 LB. Box - Approx. 19 FT.

As a material, Aramid Filament offers dependable service life when correctly adjusted and a braided construction that conforms to the stuffing box. Expect good resistance to shaft wear, process media, and elevated temperature and pressure. Rated for service to approximately 500°F. Exposure to running dry without flush or over-tightening of the gland will shorten service life.

You will find this material specified across valves and agitators, centrifugal and reciprocating pumps, and water and process plants.
