PTFE V-Packings

There are three critical dimensions you need to know when looking for v-packing. You must know the Inside dimension (best taken off the shaft you are trying to seal), The outside dimension (best taken from the bore the set will be placed into) and the stack height.  Generally slightly less than the height of the stuffing box.

Once we have those 3 dimensions, we will need to determine how many V-rings (also called pressure rings), are required to give you your desired stack height.

Finally, we will need to know if you need the male and female (top & bottom) to complete the set. Many pumps and valves come with the make and female made from metal already.

PTFE V-Packings:

Are Exceptional in Chemical Applications, Cyrogenic applications, Clean service (FDA) applications. Because PTFE has the lowest coeffiecient of friction, it lowers stem drag allowing valves to turn easier. If your looking for a less expensive option we also offer other materials such as Nitrle, Viton, Neoprene, Grafoil

Standard Sizes Available:

We supply both molded and machined PTFE parts. Custom sizes to match competitor styles are available. Please specify I.D. / O.D. and stack height desired when ordering.

V-Packing sets consist of male & female adaptors with V-shaped pressure rings inbetween.  Some equipment come with the male and female adaptors made of metal. The V-Pressure rings provide the sealing. The number of pressure rings determines the amount of pressure the set will contain.  We provide molded or machined PTFE sets.  Molded PTFE V rings are provided for large quantity orders (but require mold costs), while CNC produced sets elimate the need for a mold, but are more expensive to produce due the PTFE inside and outside dimension being cut away. Molded parts have no wasted PTFE. CNC parts are made from Bar stock or tube (to minimize waste).
