Part number 14600500-05 is a Tallow Lubricated Flax Compression Packing built to a 1/2 inch square cross section. A compression packing is cut into rings and stacked in a stuffing box, then compressed by the gland to seal a rotating or reciprocating shaft. Source specification: 5 LB. Box - Approx. 39 FT.
Tallow Lubricated Flax is specified here for braided construction that conforms to the stuffing box and field-cuttable rings for fast, inexpensive repacking. It resists shaft wear, elevated temperature and pressure, and process media. Applications involving running dry without flush or over-tightening of the gland call for a different compound.
Maintenance and OEM teams specify it across mixers and rotary equipment, water and process plants, and centrifugal and reciprocating pumps.
Order part number 14600500-05, sold individually. Unit weight is approximately 5 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.
