GORE™ TRIGUARD® Gasket


GASKET FOR FRAGILE PIPE FLANGES

LOW STRESS TO SEAL


GORE™ TRIGUARD® Gaskets are used to seal fragile pipe flanges with low bolt load. Unlike other gaskets, they seal tight and stay tight, even with varying flange conditions. Designed for low stress-to-seal flanges, GORE™ TRIGUARD® Gaskets are unaffected by most aggressive chemicals, and are ideal for contamination services and highly permeable fluids, including chlorine and monomer service.
