Hi all,

What is the correct size Packing for my IP35's original stuffing box? And any comments on the type of Packing would be welcome. Thanks!

I did find Haydens post about this after posting and 1/4" GFO seems to be a good bet.

Sorry I missed this, I have been off busy and not her.
Yes the 1/4" GTO is best for the packing nut. I find that when I clean out the packing I can usually only get two rings back in. That is what I have been running for many years. It is fine. If you can get three, even better.

How often do you change the packing?
