If you want to install a new gland packing seal in your application, a packing tamper is a useful tool. The curved tip allows you to gently ease the seal into the right place and tamp it down.

We’ve been serving the tools and hardware markets for more than 30 years. In that time, we’ve produced everything from knife blade and handle blanks to wheelchair components to parts for heavy artillery handling, and much, much more. Thanks to advanced manufacturing technology and our extensive experience, we can maintain the tight tolerances your parts require, with perfect repeatability from the first piece to the last, no matter how large your production runs.

There are various tools for assembling and fitting seals. ERIKS offers you various tools for installing O-rings and gland packing seals in your application. You can also find general supplies and maintenance products here.

If you want to replace an old gland packing seal, a packing extractor is a helpful tool. You screw it into the seal in your application. Then you simply pull out the gland packing seal, to create space for a new seal.

If you have an O-ring kit to hand, you can make a new seal for static applications at any time. The Loctite O-ring kit, for example, contains 5 different sizes of nitrile rubber cord, a splicing jig, a safety knife and glue.

You use the Pi Tape from ERIKS to determine the inside diameter of an O-ring. Useful, as you can measure the exact size you need for your application. The tape has two scales; metric on one side and the AS sizes on the other side.

If you have a roll of packing seal material available, you need a cutting device to remove the right length. Do you know what size your gland packing needs to be? If so lay the cord along the measuring cursor and cut off the length you require.

ERIKS offers various tools for fitting seals. For example, our range includes O-ring pickers, Pi Tape, circometer tapes and O-ring kits. You can also find packing seal cutters, extractors and tampers in this section.

A circometer tape is used to determine the circumference and diameter of an O-ring. It helps you quickly identify which size is right for your application. The measurement scale on a circometer tape is accurate to within 0.1 mm.

You can easily install a new O-ring with an O-ring pick. The narrow and curved tool head allows you to reach spots that are located deep in the application. This tool allows you to work more carefully than if you were to tackle the job by hand. Do you need multiple O-ring picks? Choose one of our assembly kits if you do.
