Packed Box
1. Make sure stuffing box is free of foreign materials and
clean before beginning packing of packed box. Refer to
Sectional Assembly in the repair parts section.
2. Take special care during installation of packing rings
because they are die-formed. To install, twist the ring

3. Install the two piece Teflon lantern ring supplied as shown
in figure 13. Note: two pieces make one ring. Notches on
ring must face each other, but alignment is not necessary.
4. Install the packing rings and lantern ring in the following
sequence to pack the packed box. Install two rings of
packing, then the lantern ring, followed by the final three
rings of packing. Install each ring separately and firmly
seat. The use of a wooden split bushing is recommended
to accomplish this. See Figure 14. Use gland to jack the
bushing and ring into the box. Stagger joints in each ring
90°. Make sure the flush tap in the packed box lines up
with the center of the lantern ring. Any extra rings are
spares.
5. Tighten gland nuts evenly, but not tight. When the pump
is started, slowly tighten the gland nuts until the leak rate
is between 40 and 60 drops per minute. A grease lubricant
can be used when the pumpage contains abrasive particles
or for a suction lift condition.
REMOVAL OF PACKED BOX
• Follow these steps to remove the packing from the
packed box.
1. Remove gland assembly.
2. With a “packing hook” remove packing.
3. Insert a wire hook into the ring on the outer edge to
remove the lantern ring.
4. Clean the packed box.
PRIME SAFE ARRANGEMENT (Optional – M & L Group Only)
• The Prime Safe arrangement can be provided with grease or
an oiler feed lubrication.
