5 new PVC Sheaffer Snorkel #14 fountain pen ink sacs, super long lasting

Description

Five (5) PVC ink sacs, size 14 (small) for Sheaffer Snorkel fountain pens
Replacing the sac of a Sheaffer Snorkel is especially time-consuming, as the pen first has to be opened, and then the sac carrier plug removed from the metal sac housing. Sac failure in a Snorkel can also be a serious matter, as leakage into the pen's interior may not become apparent until after the metal parts have begun to corrode. For this reason many pen repair experts have come to favor synthetic sacs for Snorkel repair, either silicone or PVC. While silicone is the most resistant to chemical action, it is permeable enough that pens with silicone sacs require special handling. PVC is impermeable and extremely durable -- the PVC sacs of Parker 51 pens have a track record of lasting for decades -- and though PVC sacs are not recommended for direct contact with celluloid or cellulose acetate, this is not an issue for Snorkels where they rest within a chromed brass housing.
Note that PVC sacs are not as flexible as latex or silicone sacs, so will require the plunger to be depressed more rapidly and deliberately to fill completely.
NOTE: Sac sizes are nominal, and indicate that a given sac will easily fit through a hole n/64 inch (1 inch = 25.4 mm) in diameter, "n" being the sac size. For more information on sac choice,
please see the Pen Sac Primer on our website. For more sac sizes and materials, see our
