I have a hose bib which leaks from the stem. I tried opening the valve and snugging up the packing nut. It slowed the leak but didn't completely fix it. Is the packing sold as a preformed piece, or only as the graphite type string? I am pretty sure I have seen the preformed ones that looked like a washer with a bell shape on top but don't recall for sure and am not sure what material they would have been. Thanks a lot.
