Description of πŸ”’ Finesse your Sealing Needs with Palmetto Flexible Graphite Compression Packing

Compression packing seal protects pumps and valves from fluid leaks in static and dynamic applications. Flexible graphite yarn resists high temperatures and dissipates frictional heat away from the shaft, enabling high shaft speeds and reducing leakage. Anti-corrosion additive reduces the chance of pitting. Maximum pressure limit of 2,500 psi in valves; 125 psi in pumps. Operating temperatures range from -400 degrees F up to 6,000 degrees F, depending on the environment.

Good quality

This material works great and was easy to install on my sailboat's oil seal. After watching a few videos online about how to repackage an oil seal, I decided to do it myself and it turned out to be a no-brainer. The Palmetto 5000 series stuffing box material worked perfectly.

Pros
  • Operating temperature range -400 degrees Fahrenheit to 6000 degrees Fahrenheit depending on the environment
Cons
  • Quick start guide

Palmetto 5000 Series flexible packing seal.

This graphite compression gasket is perfect for all types of ovens. I use it to restore old camping stoves. Some of these furnaces no longer have the gland packing offered for the valve spindle. This product saves the day and makes the oven usable again. Many Thanks.

Pros
  • Compression seal protects pumps and valves from fluid leakage under static and dynamic conditions.
Cons
  • New competitors have appeared.

This works great and stays in place and wedges into cracks in the .

Okay I bought this for a weird reason to use on my smoker to stop leaks. This works great and stays in place and wedges into cracks in my metal smoker. After closing the lid, I place it on the back edge and it seals perfectly. When I'm done, open the lid and it falls out ready to be used next time. Try it to seal the smoker, works great! Elsewhere I've inserted it into holes and it's permanent.

Pros
  • Maximum Pressure Limit 2500 psi inches in valves; 125 psi in pumps
Cons
  • Questionable purchase for seniors
