Palmetto 1347AF Series Synthetic PTFE Lube Compression Packing Seal

Description

Product Overview

This Palmetto 1347AF Series Synthetic with PTFE & Lube Compression Packing Seal is engineered for demanding industrial applications where fluid leakage must be prevented. Constructed from high-quality acrylic yarn impregnated with PTFE, it resists wear and corrosion from harsh chemicals while maintaining flexibility under pressure. The petroleum-based break-in lubricant reduces frictional heat during initial installation, extending the seal’s operational life. Designed to withstand temperatures ranging from -10°F (-23°C) to 450°F (232°C), this white, 3/8″ square packing is ideal for pumps and valves in hydraulic, pneumatic, and plumbing systems operating up to 1,500 psi.

Usage

This seal is commonly used in industrial and scientific environments such as manufacturing plants, chemical processing facilities, and maintenance workshops where pumps and valves require reliable sealing. It’s suitable for both stationary and mobile equipment including rotary actuators, reciprocating pumps, and high-pressure fluid transfer systems. The material composition ensures compatibility with a wide range of fluids including water, oils, and mild chemicals. Ideal for technicians, engineers, and maintenance personnel who need durable, easy-to-install seals that perform consistently under variable operating conditions.
