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
