Chevron V-Packing Sets

Chevron V-packing sets are stacked sealing assemblies with multiple V-shaped rings between supporting adapters. Fluid or gland force spreads the flexible lips against rod and bore surfaces, making the set adaptable to heavy reciprocating duty, large diameters and equipment with some wear or misalignment.

Questions about chevron v-packing sets

What should I send to identify chevron v-packing sets?

Send rod or bore diameter, gland diameter, stack height, number of V-rings, solid or split construction. Provide the free and installed stack heights and show the male and female adapter orientation in the gland. A clear photograph, drawing or readable reference can resolve details that dimensions alone do not show.

How should I select chevron v-packing sets?

Choose ring count, adapter form and materials from gland adjustment, surface wear, fluid, reciprocating duty and installation access. Confirm the mating parts and operating environment before ordering, since an apparently similar size can use a different profile, material or internal arrangement.
