2A-5881: Round Gasket

A Round Gasket is a gasket that covers the gap between two or more mating surfaces, and is often used to prevent leakage from or into the connected components when under compression. Gaskets are normally made from a flat material, a sheet such as paper, rubber, silicone, metal, cork, felt, neoprene, nitrile rubber, fiberglass, polytetrafluoroethylene (otherwise known as PTFE or Teflon) or a plastic polymer (such as polychlorotrifluoroethylene). Attributes: • Manufactured to precise specifications and are built for durability, reliability, productivity. • Designed to withstand high temperatures and pressures, allowing them to maintain their sealing ability. Applications: A Round Gasket is used to create a seal between the various components of the engine.
