If there is undesirable packing leakage with other than spring‐loaded PTFE V‐ring packing, first try to limit the leakage
and establish a stem seal by tightening the packing flange nuts (key 21, figure 7 through 12) to at least the minimum
recommended torque in table 3 or 4. However, do not exceed the maximum recommended torque in table 3 or 4.
or
excessive friction may result. If leakage continues, replace the packing by following the numbered steps presented in
the Replacing Packing procedure.
If the packing is relatively new and tight on the valve plug stem, and if tightening the packing flange nuts does not
stop the leakage, it is possible that the stem is worn or nicked so that a seal cannot be made. The surface finish of a
new stem is critical for making a good packing seal. If the leakage comes from the outside diameter of the packing, it
is possible that the leakage is caused by nicks or scratches around the packing box wall. While replacing the packing
according to the Replacing Packing procedure, inspect the valve plug stem and packing box wall for nicks or scratches.
