Packing nut

Member Posts: 18
My packing nut is leaking on my steam valve, I tightened it no luck. Do I need to buy a new valve and change it, or do they sell the packing nuts alone? Are they universal and are they easy to change?

Packing Nuts
With the system off, remove the packing nut and replace the packing. Self-forming packing is available in many styles, teflon, graphite string, etc.
