Steam valves

I have a few valves that leak at the stems, I think there is a nut
under the handle I can take off to repack it, what do I use to repack
the valve.
Plumbing supply will have valve packing. It is a string that is impregnated
and makes the seal.
Sometimes you can get away with just tightening the nut a quarter turn. If
that does not work, get them fixed before the steam erodes things and makes
fixing impossible.
