Easy to install No grease, no mess. Just cut the rings to length and install them in the stuffing box. Make maybe one adjustment to the gland follower after a short run-in, and never tinker with the stuffing box again. You'll rarely need to make any adjustments, and the Gore dripless packing will last for years.

Bilges stay dry Since GFO fiber dripless packing is four times more thermally conductive than flax, it needs virtually no sea water for lubrication or cooling. And, because it doesn't swell or shrink, leakage is controlled and kept to an absolute minimum. In fact, you'll notice that your bilge is dry and cleaner, because this remarkable packing hardly ever drips. It's so conformable and flexible that it will solve most perpetual problem leakers, too.

Won't damage shafts GFO fiber packing has minimal thermal expansion and high abrasion resistance — it never gets hard and abrasive, even when mud or sand-laden water gets into the stuffing box. So extensive shaft scoring and premature packing failure are things of the past. And, this packing can withstand high shaft speeds without being consumed or destroyed.
