Custom Wire Overknit and Overbraid Round Gaskets
Per customer’s specs. And sizes.
Left Gasket: P/N Overknit-1KRG, 304SS or INCONEL wire jacket over fiberglass or silica braided rope. This round gasket offers excellent abrasion resistance for the inner sealing core fibers.
Right Gasket: P/N Overbraid-1KRG, Braided fiberglass sleeving braided over 304SS or Inconel wire mesh core, also available in hollow core mesh.
USES: Great for sealing channels when tails of tadpole gasket tape hinder true sealing surfaces.
