AP Services, a product and service brand of Curtiss-Wright, manufactures valve and pump packing products that have the lowest leak rates and friction in the industry. Style 1715 is manufactured from a blend of high temperature synthetic fibers saturated with Teflon. After braiding, the packing is treated with a break-in lubricant for easy shaft run-in. The heavy coating of PTFE provides superior resistance to chemical attack.
Style 1715 packing can be used on centrifugal and rotary pumps and in valves. In an environment of chemicals and weak acids, this style makes an excellent general service packing. Style 1715 is available as individual rings, combination sets, and in bulk.
