Graphite Impregnated Gland Packing (VR3)
Graphite Impregnated Gland Packing (VR3)
- Type VR3 braided packing, is constructed from 100% Grafan yarns, to form a truly exceptional capabilities and performance, pure Expanded Graphite packing.
- Under compression in the gland, Types VR3 die-form into packing rings, whilst offering the advantage of avoiding the need to laboriously wrap ribbon tape around valve stems or the cost of an inventory of many sizes of individual die-formed rings.
- Types VR3 can be merely cut to length and spiralled into the gland.
- There is no need for individual cut rings, as is the case with conventional braided packing.
- Grafan is self-lubricating and will not shrink nor harden nor dry out in use.
