Compression packing supports sealing work on valves, pistons, flanges, piston pumps, and impeller pumps.
Match the profile first
Confirm the required width and height of the packing space, then choose a matching square profile: 3/16 in., 1/4 in., 3/8 in., or 1/2 in.
Consider the service environment
PTFE packing is represented for valve, piston, flange, and pump applications, including food and pharmaceutical environments where contamination control is important. Graphite packing is represented for heat- and steam-exposed equipment, with one reinforced option noted for oils, water, and some chemicals.
Plan for cut-to-length repairs
Available lengths include 5 ft., 25 ft., and 50 ft., allowing buyers to select the amount of material needed for installation, replacement, or ongoing maintenance work.
PTFE and graphite compression packing options are represented.
Choose from 3/16 in., 1/4 in., 3/8 in., and 1/2 in. sizes.
Options are available in 5 ft., 25 ft., and 50 ft. lengths.
Selected graphite packing options provide 50 ft. of material.

Plan the right fit before choosing
Compare PTFE and graphite packing
The category includes two material types with distinct represented applications. PTFE options are used for valves, pistons, flanges, and pumps, while graphite options are used for pistons, impeller pumps, and flanges.
- Choose PTFE for represented sealing work in valves, pistons, flanges, and pumps.
- Consider PTFE where food and pharmaceutical environments make contamination control important.
- Choose braided expanded graphite for represented piston pump, impeller pump, and flange applications.
- Consider graphite options for applications exposed to heat and steam.
- For demanding pump service involving oils, water, and some chemicals, compare the graphite packing with braided wire reinforcement.
Match square size and length to the repair
Packing size is expressed as width by height. A correct profile match helps buyers select packing for compatible sealing spaces, while the continuous packing length can be cut for the requirements of the repair.
- Available square profiles include 3/16 in., 1/4 in., 3/8 in., and 1/2 in.
- Available lengths include 5 ft., 25 ft., and 50 ft.
- Use shorter 5 ft. options when that amount suits the work.
- Compare 25 ft. and 50 ft. options when more material is needed for maintenance and repair work.
- Review minimum order quantity: many listed options have a minimum of 1, while one 1/2 in. graphite 5 ft. option has a minimum of 2.
Identify the equipment and exposure before selecting
Begin with the component being serviced, verify the packing-space dimensions, and account for the conditions stated for the packing material. This helps narrow the choice among the available PTFE, graphite, and reinforced graphite options.
- For valve, piston, flange, or pump service, compare PTFE profiles and lengths.
- For piston pumps, impeller pumps, and flanges exposed to heat or steam, compare graphite profiles and lengths.
- For pump applications in demanding conditions, consider the braided-wire graphite option where resistance to oils, water, and some chemicals is needed.
