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?
