New Seal Connect Classroom Webinar on Stuffing Box Reliability!



We are thrilled to announce a free webinar on stuffing box reliability, the first in our new Seal Connect Classroom webinar series. It will be held on Tuesday, March 9, at 11 a.m. CST, and the topic will be “How to Install Packing Like a Pro.”

Why Is Proper Installation Important for Reliability?

A stuffing box of a pump houses a gland that compresses the packing used to seal the pumped fluid by preventing leakage along the shaft that passes through a hole in the pump.

Stuffing box reliability is critical to the condition and performance of the whole fluid sealing program.

“Proper packing installation to prevent excessive leakage, shaft stabilization to prolong shaft/sleeve and packing life, and thorough equipment inspections help improve stuffing box reliability.”

Chuck Tanner, Presenter
