Packing_Gland_for_8"_Nozzle.pdf

This is a technical specification document for a packing gland component required for an 8-inch nozzle, prepared in support of Lakeland Electric's Unit 5 Fall 2026 Outage Contract Services solicitation in Florida. The document provides detailed engineering specifications, dimensional requirements, and performance parameters for the packing gland assembly that contractors must supply or install as part of the boiler and HRSG maintenance and repair work scheduled to occur between November 29 and December 19, 2026. The packing gland specification ensures that all bidders understand the exact technical requirements for this critical component, which must meet applicable code standards and integrate with the 8-inch nozzle system on the Unit 5 equipment during the planned outage period.

The specification document establishes standardized requirements that all qualified boiler and HRSG contractors must meet when procuring or fabricating the packing gland component. This technical standardization is essential for the competitive bidding process, as it allows Lakeland Electric to compare proposals on a level basis while ensuring all submitted solutions meet the necessary safety, operational, and compatibility standards for the boiler and HRSG systems being serviced during the fall 2026 outage.
