A gland is a general type of stuffing box used to seal a rotating or reciprocating shaft against a fluid. The most common example is in the head of a tap (faucet) where the gland is usually packed with a string which has been soaked in tallow or similar grease. The gland nut allows the packing material to be compressed to form a watertight seal thus preventing water leakage up the shaft when the tap is turned on. The gland at the rotating shaft of a centrifugal pump may be packed in a similar way and graphite grease may be used to accommodate continuous operation. The linear seal around the piston rod of a double acting steam piston is also known as a gland, particularly in marine applications. Likewise the shaft of a hand pump or wind pump is sealed with a gland where the shaft exits the borehole.
Thread seal tape (also known as PTFE tape or plumber's tape) is a polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) film for use in sealing pipe threads. The tape is sold cut to specific widths and wound on a spool, making it easy to wind around pipe threads. Thread seal tape lubricates, allowing for a deeper seating of the threads and helps prevent the threads from seizing when being unscrewed. The tape also works as a deformable filler, helping to seal the joint without hardening or making it more difficult to tighten, and instead making it easier to tighten.
Other types of sealed connections without moving parts are also sometimes called glands; for example, a cable gland or fitting that connects a flexible electrical conduit to an enclosure, machine or bulkhead facilitates assembly and prevents liquid or gas ingress.
