PTFE Gland Packing (VT8)
PTFE Gland Packing (VT8)
- Type VT8 is supplied as a double construction of a 100% unsintered PTFE core with a spiral covering of PTFE tape.
- VT8 provides the versatility of an extruded malleable core with the additional strength and extrusion resistance of the PTFE tape covering.
- The result is a low friction, extrusion resistant, TEFLON® packing with near universal chemical resistance.
- VT8 will not harden nor shrink in application and provides an instant packing and instant gasket on one very economical spool.
- In valves, wrap VT8 round the stem to fill the gland (no need for cut rings), tighten the gland follower and the PTFE molds to form a tight leak free seal.
- A properly installed VT8 is guaranteed to last the life of the valve to which it is fitted.
