Supplied as a flexible Teflon cord measuring 3\/32 inch in diameter by 24 inches in length, this packing material compresses around the valve stem to prevent leaks at the packing gland. It is packaged on a card and sold in units of one card. Plumbers and pipe fitters use this type of packing when repacking older globe valves, gate valves, and similar valves where the original packing has dried out, shrunk, or begun to leak.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis Teflon string packing is suited for residential and light commercial plumbing maintenance. It is commonly used when servicing shutoff valves, stop valves, and other stem-type valves found in water distribution systems.

A licensed plumber should perform valve repacking in accordance with local plumbing codes and IPC guidelines. Wrap the Teflon string packing around the valve stem in the direction of the packing nut threads before tightening. Do not overtighten the packing nut, as this can restrict stem movement or damage the packing material.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDiameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3\/32 inch\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLength\u003c\/strong\u003e: 24 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial\u003c\/strong\u003e: Teflon (PTFE)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePackage Quantity\u003c\/strong\u003e: 6 per package\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUnit of Measure\u003c\/strong\u003e: EA\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.18 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand\u003c\/strong\u003e: Larsen Supply Co.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: 219544\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"LASCO","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51560303755570,"sku":"219544","price":22.88,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/7a6f6600783fe7e8d9e3e34721e1616b.jpg?v=1786450381","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/larsen-supply-co-219544-teflon-valve-stem-packing","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
