Larsen Supply Company LAR02-2501 Teflon Valve Stem Packing

Product Description

The LARSEN SUPPLY COMPANY LAR02-2501 is a Teflon valve stem packing used to seal the stem area of plumbing valves and prevent leaks around the packing nut. Teflon packing material provides a low-friction, chemically resistant seal that holds up well against water, mild chemicals, and the repeated rotation of valve stems. This type of packing is a standard repair component in residential and light commercial plumbing systems. Licensed plumbers and experienced DIYers install it when a valve stem is weeping or dripping at the packing nut and the existing packing material has worn out or compressed past its service life.

Teflon valve stem packing is commonly used in globe valves, angle valves, gate valves, and older compression-style faucets where a packing nut retains the stem assembly. It is suited for potable water lines, irrigation shutoffs, and general plumbing supply lines. This packing is a go-to replacement part during routine valve maintenance and repair service calls where full valve replacement is not required.

Key Features

• Teflon material provides chemical resistance and a low-friction sealing surface
• Designed to seat around valve stems and compress under the packing nut to stop leaks
• Suitable for use in globe, gate, and angle valve repairs
• Compatible with potable water and general plumbing service applications

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement packing for residential and light commercial plumbing valves requiring Teflon stem packing material.

Installation Notes

Shut off water supply and relieve line pressure before removing the packing nut or valve stem. A plumber typically installs this component using standard hand tools including an adjustable wrench. Wrap or seat the Teflon packing properly around the stem before reinstating the packing nut to ensure a leak-free seal. Follow local plumbing codes, including applicable IPC requirements, for valve repair procedures.
