The Western Pacific Trading 10037 Tefpack Synthetic Shaft Packing gives you a reliable, long-lasting seal around your prop shaft without the constant drip adjustments that traditional flax packing demands.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTefpack is a PTFE-based synthetic packing material that runs cooler and lasts longer than conventional flax. It does not absorb water, swell, or compress unevenly over time, which means once it is set, it stays set. This listing is for a 5\/8\" cross-section x 22\" length coil, giving you enough material to repack a standard stuffing box with material left over for the next service interval.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 5\/8\" size fits stuffing boxes designed for 5\/8\" packing, so confirm your stuffing box specification before ordering. Installation follows the same process as flax packing: cut rings at a 45-degree angle, stagger the joints, and compress evenly. The PTFE construction means you can run it with minimal drip, which is a welcome change if you have been chasing a leaky stuffing box for years.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWestern Pacific Trading part number: 10037\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTefpack PTFE synthetic shaft packing\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSize: 5\/8\" cross-section x 22\" length\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFits standard 5\/8\" stuffing boxes on inboard and inboard\/outboard applications\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRuns cooler than flax packing, reduces heat buildup on the shaft\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDoes not swell or compress unevenly over time\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCut rings at 45 degrees and stagger joints for best seal\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eNormalized SKU:\u003c\/b\u003e 10037\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Western Pacific Trading","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55565492060465,"sku":"WPT-10037","price":35.48,"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-5-8-x-22-10037","provider":"First Choice Marine","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
