Grooved gaskets are special seals used in Face Seal-style fittings to create tighter connections in piping systems. Learn how they can protect your system and improve its long-term performance.
How Do Grooved Gaskets Affect System Performance?
- No More Overtightening: Its built-in stop feature prevents the gasket from overtightening as it’s being assembled. This prevents your system’s components from getting damaged in the process.
- Heightened Leak Resistance: VCR-style grooved gaskets maintain a strong seal, even under intense vibration or shock. This quality makes it great for high-purity gas and fluid systems. Its seal is so strong that it offers nine times the support of standard flat gaskets.
- Durability: These types of gaskets can tolerate multiple remakes (up to 50), which saves you time and helps you save on maintenance costs.
