Hi all. I have had issues with a leaking gland nut on my stop tap for a while and was always able to stop it by tightening the gland nut. Anyway eventually that did not work and I have had the gland repacked which seems to be working well so far. I was wondering is the repacking a fairly permanent fix or is it likely to need repacking again in the near future.

Depends on how and what you used to re pack the gland . If PTFE tape was used, it will last for a reasonable period of time
Many thanks for the reply Terry. It was Loctite 55.
