FEATURES and BENEFITS
- Creates compressive load in lightweight flanges in oil and water service
- More universal than gaskets that swell in oil only — reduces inventory
- Performs well in flanges that might crush an elastomer gasket, providing use in a wide array of applications
- More compressible than standard fiber gaskets and seals with low load
- Easy to cut and handle — extremely flexible, minimizes waste
- Replaces vegetable fiber gaskets in many applications — won't weep, improving plant safety
- Seals flanges in "less than perfect" conditions minimizing maintenance
- Specify 3760-U for applications requiring NSF 61 approved gaskets (Drinking Water)
