U-Turn Fasteners Virgin Teflon Gasket 1/8″ Thick Ring Class 150#

Description

Product Overview

The U‑Turn Virgin Teflon gasket is engineered to meet the demanding requirements of modern industrial and scientific applications. Constructed from 100% pure polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) without any fillers, this gasket delivers exceptional chemical resistance, thermal stability, and electrical insulation. Its 1/8″ thickness and Class 150# rating make it suitable for high‑pressure environments, while the full‑face raised‑face design (inner diameter 1.31 inches, outer diameter 2.62 inches) ensures a reliable seal that prevents leaks even under fluctuating temperatures and pressures. The gasket is supplied in a convenient two‑sheet pack, providing immediate availability for maintenance or new installations.

Usage

Designed for versatility, this PTFE sheet gasket excels in a wide range of sectors. In chemical processing plants, it resists aggressive solvents and acids, protecting equipment from corrosion. Food‑and‑beverage manufacturers benefit from its non‑reactive surface, which meets stringent hygiene standards and prevents contamination. Pharmaceutical facilities rely on its inertness to maintain product purity, while general industrial piping systems use it for sealing pumps, valves, and flanges that operate under high pressure. The gasket’s easy‑to‑install full‑face design reduces installation time, making it ideal for both scheduled maintenance and emergency repairs.

FAQ

What temperature range can this gasket withstand?

The Virgin Teflon gasket operates safely from -200 °F (‑129 °C) up to 500 °F (260 °C), making it suitable for both cryogenic and high‑heat applications.

Is this gasket compatible with food‑grade equipment?

Yes, the PTFE material is FDA‑approved for food contact, ensuring it meets the hygiene standards required in food‑processing and beverage production.

How do I install the gasket to achieve a proper seal?

Place the gasket on the flange surface, align the inner and outer diameters with the mating components, and tighten the bolts uniformly to the recommended torque. The full‑face design distributes pressure evenly, eliminating the need for additional sealants.

Can this gasket be reused after removal?

While PTFE can be reused if it remains undamaged, we recommend inspecting the gasket for any cuts, abrasions, or deformation before reinstallation. For critical applications, using a new gasket ensures optimal performance.

What does the Class 150# rating signify?

Class 150# indicates the gasket is rated for a maximum pressure of 150 pounds per square inch (psi) on standard flange connections, providing a reliable seal for medium‑pressure systems.
