Non-Asbestos Boiler Gaskets
Gaskets that will give you all of the advantages of an asbestos gasket without the health risks.
For maximum
sealing on new and old flanges, use the max, Blue-Max®.
Key Benefits
Zero Leakage Under Pressure
Even the slightest leakage is too much, as it increases maintenance and
reduces boiler life. Tests by major boiler manufacturers confirm that
Blue-Max® gaskets seal- with zero
leakage-on steam to 450 psi and on cold-water hydro tests up to 1500 psi
and Blue-Max® withstands working temperatures
up to 500 degrees Fahrenheit. Rubber gaskets simply can't withstand that
kind of pressure and heat.
Easily Removed
Removal is easy and requires no scraping, chiseling or grinding. This
is important in reducing the maintenance costs and down time.
Sizes Clearly Marked
Each gasket is permanently marked with its size, so you'll know immediately
you have the appropriate one.
Easy Problem Free Installation
Blue-Max® gaskets offer installation
advantages over other types.
Because of the materials construction and strength, there is no danger
of over tightening the gasket and cutting it in half.
A Blue-Max® gasket naturally lays
flat on the flange and requires no special installation tools, procedures
or training. Simply install the gasket and crank it down. Refer to Step
#4 on the Installation Instructions.
Interchangeable Sizes
Corresponding obround and oval sizes are interchangeable, thanks to the
unique properties of the material. It is not necessary to stock separate
gaskets to accommodate slight size variations and chances of a dangerous
mismatch are thereby reduced.
Maximum Sealing on Rough Surfaces
Rough and pitted surfaces on old or poorly maintained flanges pose no
problem for a Blue-Max® gasket. The
material is resilient enough to conform perfectly to surface topography
and maintain the tightest possible seal.
Chemical Resistant
The proprietary Teflon wrap is resistant to the chemicals used in treating
boiler water, so gaskets will last longer.
Extended Shelf Life
A Blue-Max® Gasket won't dry out or
lose its strength while in sits on the shelf.
