At 1\/2\" cross-section x 22\" in length, this single coil gives you enough material to fully repack a standard stuffing box and still have a ring or two left for next time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTefpack is built around PTFE, the same low-friction material used in high-performance sealing applications across industries. Unlike traditional flax packing, PTFE does not absorb water, swell, or break down from continuous exposure to bilge conditions. It runs cooler against the shaft, which means less heat buildup and less wear on both the packing and the shaft itself over time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInstallation is the same as flax: cut rings at a 45-degree angle, stagger the joints 90 degrees apart, and compress evenly with the packing nut. Once set, Tefpack holds its shape and requires far less routine adjustment than flax. If you have been retightening your packing nut every few weeks, switching to a PTFE-based packing like this one is a straightforward upgrade.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWestern Pacific Trading part number: 10036\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTefpack PTFE synthetic shaft packing\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSize: 1\/2\" cross-section x 22\" length\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFits standard 1\/2\" stuffing boxes on inboard and inboard\/outboard applications\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRuns cooler than flax, reduces shaft and packing wear\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDoes not swell, compress unevenly, or degrade in bilge conditions\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCut rings at 45 degrees and stagger joints 90 degrees for best seal\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eNormalized SKU:\u003c\/b\u003e 10036\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Western Pacific Trading","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55565483835697,"sku":"WPT-10036","price":31.62,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0015\/7184\/8291\/files\/WPT-10037_2aabbd3f-f2c5-44f6-aa32-628278f84180.jpg?v=1785684482","url":"https:\/\/www.firstchoicemarine.com\/products\/western-pacific-trading-tefpack-packing-1-2-x-22-10036","provider":"First Choice Marine","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
