Woodford 30005 Packing

Genuine Woodford 30005 cloth packing for Woodford model 12 faucet.

The Woodford 30005 Packing is a crucial component designed for use in Woodford outdoor wall faucets. Here are some key features and details about it:

• Material: The packing is typically made of EPDM (ethylene propylene diene monomer rubber), a type of synthetic rubber that is known for its excellent heat, ozone, and weather resistance.

• Design: The packing is designed to create a watertight seal around the stem of the faucet, preventing water from leaking out around the handle when the faucet is turned on.

• Function: The primary function of the Woodford 30005 Packing is to ensure a leak-free operation of your faucet. It does this by providing a tight seal between the moving parts of the faucet.

• Installation: The packing can be easily installed by placing it around the faucet stem and then tightening the packing nut. However, care should be taken not to over-tighten the packing nut as this could potentially damage the packing or the faucet stem.

• Compatibility: This packing is specifically designed for use with Woodford outdoor wall faucets. It’s important to ensure that your faucet is a compatible model before purchasing this packing.

Remember, it’s always important to turn off the water supply before starting any plumbing repairs to prevent water damage.
