Steam valve stem packing

I have a few radiator valves that are leaking at the valve stem and want to repack them, but cannot find a local (southern NH) source. Does anyone have suggestions for a good on-line source?

    steam hand valves can be repacked very simply with teflon tape take apox 12" twist teflon to string shape wrap around stem after removing packing nut.make sure system is off and cool to touch before repair. also do not put teflon around threads for packing nut you may crack nut good luck
