I have a bunch of valves to service and my shop will no longer sell me just teflon packing/washers. Whole service kits are crazy expensive, and I have tons of seats, stems, o-rings, springs, etc. But the teflon washers are harder to come by. As far as I can tell, there are basically 4 different ones. The thin, large handwheel washer should be pretty easy to source once I take some measurements. But the bonnet nut packing washers are a different matter. Some valves use an o-ring on the stem and a medium thickness teflon packing. Others omit the o-ring and instead use a thin and a thick teflon washer. I might be able to get the specs (ID, OD and thickness), but I haven't found a good source to just load up on these little doodads.

Anybody got a recommendation?
 
Thanks lemke, but they only list a couple of options with 1/4 inch ID and I don't think those will do. As for NESS, that is not an option.
 
VDH lists a number. No idea if the size is appropriate for you. 5 options to choose from, you'll need to hunt around the different pages to see them all. Listed as: US Divers Nylon Washer, AA96-K, AA96-A, AA96-1 and Valve Knob Washer.

Thanks for that link. But most of those look straight out of the Trident catalog and don't have dimensions. I have ordered several sizes from oringsusa and will see if I can find something that works.
