Graco 15A061 PTFE Vee Packing
The Graco 15A061 PTFE Vee Packing is a high-grade OEM sealing solution designed for demanding fluid systems in Graco pumps. Made from premium PTFE with a vee-profile design, this packing set delivers reliable leak resistance, low friction, and exceptional chemical compatibility under high-pressure, high-cycle operation.
Key Features
- Authentic Graco OEM part for optimal compatibility and performance
- Premium PTFE material offers superior resistance to aggressive chemicals and wear
- Vee-style design enhances sealing efficiency under dynamic pressure
- Low-friction surface helps extend the life of both the packing and rod or shaft
- Built to withstand frequent cycling and high-pressure pumping environments
Intended Applications
- Industrial diaphragm or piston pumps handling coatings, solvents, or corrosive fluids
- High-pressure fluid transfer systems where leak prevention is critical
- Routine pump maintenance and rebuilds where OEM-quality seals are preferred
- Systems requiring durable, long-life packing for heavy use
Installation & Maintenance Guidelines
To ensure the 15A061 packing performs optimally, follow careful installation and maintenance procedures.
- Clean the stuffing box and mating surfaces thoroughly before installing new packing.
- Inspect the shaft or rod for scoring, pits or damage; repair if necessary.
- Insert the vee rings in the correct orientation and compress evenly to avoid misalignment.
- Tighten fasteners to the manufacturer’s recommended torque to avoid extrusion or seal failure.
- After installation, run the pump at low pressure to validate sealing performance before full use.
When to Replace the Packing
- Fluid leaking around the rod or shaft seal area
- Rings show signs of wear, glazing, or deformation
- Pump output becomes inconsistent or pressure drops
- Rebuild cycles as part of preventative or scheduled maintenance
- Switching to more aggressive fluids that demand higher chemical resilience

Frequently Asked Questions
It creates a durable, low-friction seal around the pump rod or shaft, preventing leaks and maintaining performance under pressure.
Yes — PTFE offers excellent resistance to a wide range of chemicals, making it ideal for fluids that would degrade standard elastomeric packings.
Replace it when you detect fluid leaks, observe material wear, or during scheduled pump rebuilds to maintain sealing integrity.
The 15A061 is compatible with Graco pump models that specify this part number in their documentation; always check your parts diagram for confirmation.
