I have six Campbell yard hydrants. On several I have leaks around the packing nut when they are on. The packing for the nut is not an o-ring, but a graphite packing ring. Outside of buying a full repair parts kit I was able to find only one location where I could buy the packing and it cost $12, which seems absurd for a single item. I'm wondering if there are any plumbers with experience in this area that could provide some alternatives. I see some graphite rope, but not sure if it would be the right solution for this situation. What about actual o-rings?
