At 3\/16\" cross-section x 22\" in length, this coil gives you enough material to fully repack a stuffing box with rings to spare for next time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTefpack is built on PTFE, a synthetic material that handles continuous water and fuel exposure without swelling, hardening, or deteriorating the way organic packing materials can. It runs with lower friction against the shaft than traditional flax, which means less heat generated at the stuffing box and less wear on both the packing and the shaft over extended use.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInstallation is the same across the entire Tefpack range: cut each ring at a 45-degree angle so the ends meet cleanly around the shaft, stagger successive ring joints 90 degrees apart, and compress evenly with the packing nut. A slight weep during initial break-in is normal and expected. Once seated, Tefpack holds its compression well and needs far less routine adjustment than flax packing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWestern Pacific Trading part number: 10031\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTefpack PTFE synthetic shaft packing\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSize: 3\/16\" cross-section x 22\" length\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEntry-level size in the Tefpack lineup; fits standard 3\/16\" stuffing boxes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSuited for compact inboard and small sailboat applications\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePTFE construction runs cooler and lasts longer than flax packing\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eResistant to swelling, hardening, and water absorption\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 10031\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Western Pacific Trading","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55565442842929,"sku":"WPT-10031","price":8.07,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0015\/7184\/8291\/files\/WPT-10037.jpg?v=1785684376","url":"https:\/\/www.firstchoicemarine.com\/products\/western-pacific-trading-tefpack-packing-3-16-x-22-10031","provider":"First Choice Marine","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
