Easy to install and remove, the packing never gets hard or brittle.  It outlasts virtually any other packing it replaces.

Compared to other PTFE/graphite packings, only those made with GFO® fiber, with its 20+ year history of documented trouble-free performance, deliver an unmatched level of assurance and confidence.  Look for the Seal of Assurance on every package ... and the GFO® name printed right on the packing.
