11800500-10 is a G.F.O. Packing Compression Packing with a 1/2 inch square cross section. In service, this compression packing seals the shaft while allowing controlled leakage that lubricates and cools the packing set. Supplementary detail from the product record: 10 LB. Box - Approx. 56 FT.
G.F.O. Packing is specified here for braided construction that conforms to the stuffing box and field-cuttable rings for fast, inexpensive repacking. Expect good resistance to elevated temperature and pressure, process media, and shaft wear. Rated for service to approximately 550°F. It is not the right choice where running dry without flush or over-tightening of the gland are present.
It sees regular use in water and process plants, mixers and rotary equipment, and valves and agitators.
11800500-10 ships individually. Unit weight is approximately 10 lb. As always, verify media compatibility and operating conditions against the requirements of your specific application. APG can cross-reference from an existing part number, a drawing or a physical sample if this size is not an exact match.
