Abstract: A turbine fuel valve packing assembly including two sets of packing rings in which at least one packing ring is a V-shaped packing ring, a compression member, lantern ring, and packing gland with a sealing ring is disclosed which effectively seals turbine fuel valves against leaking. Further disclosed is a valve packing replacement method utilizing a bifurcated valve shaft allowing part of the shaft to be removed, thereby providing enough space for the valve packing assembly to be removed from the fuel valve and replaced without disassembling the entire fuel valve.

Abstract: A bus bar screw jack is useful in the removal, inspection, and reinstallation of bus bars. The end of the screw jack which engages the bus bar comprises a channel with a foam rubber coating to nonslidably receive the bus bar. The foam rubber coating also prevents damage to the insulating coating on the bus bar during installation. The screw jack comprises an externally threaded member, an internally threaded member threaded onto the externally threaded member, a support member on one end of the externally threaded member, and a washer interposed between the support member and internally threaded member.
