Graphite Valve Stem Packing Rope

This graphite twist stem packing rope is designed for bath faucet repair. It creates a leak-free seal on faucet stem packing nuts. The rope measures 3/32" by 24" and is sold individually. Homeowners and plumbers use it to stop drips at the valve stem.

Simple Installation With Common Tools

Wrap the rope around the stem and tighten the packing nut to compress the material. No special equipment is required beyond an adjustable wrench. Over-tightening can crush the graphite and prevent a proper seal. The rope is not suited for repairs that need a pre-formed washer or O-ring.
