Product Details

The Western Pacific Trading 10002 is a traditional flax shaft packing designed for marine propeller shaft stuffing boxes and general marine sealing applications. This economical packing material comes in a convenient 2-foot retail length with a 3/16 inch diameter, ideal for smaller shaft applications and repair jobs.

Construction and Features:

  • Braided from quality flax rovings to specific tolerances for consistent performance
  • Impregnated with natural wax lubricants to reduce friction and heat during operation
  • Traditional yellowish-brown color indicates pure flax construction
  • Rated to 176°F operating temperature with rotation speeds up to 2,000 ft/min
  • Suitable for leaky stuffing boxes and general shaft packing applications

Applications:

Ideal for propeller shaft packing glands, rudder ports, stern tubes, and other marine sealing applications where a traditional, cost-effective packing material is needed. The 3/16 inch diameter is commonly used on smaller inboard vessels, sailboats, and auxiliary drive systems.

Installation Notes:

Flax packing naturally degrades in seawater over time, and its lubricants break down from shaft friction and heat. Regular inspection and replacement is recommended when the packing hardens, shrinks, or develops excessive leaking. The 2-foot length provides enough material for multiple rings or a complete repacking job on most small to medium shaft installations.
