GORE™ Universal Pipe Gasket (Style 800)


For sealing joints reliably

UNIVERSAL GASKET FOR ALL STANDARD FLANGES


GORE™ Universal Pipe Gasket (Style 800) is used to seal all types of flanges in chemical process piping. Designed to meet the needs of many different piping materials, they are ideal for standardising gasket materials across steel, glass-lined steel and FRP systems, wherever a non-metallic gasket can be used.

Unaffected by even the most aggressive chemicals, Style 800 gasket combines all the properties of expanded PTFE with exceptional sealability.


GORE™ Universal Pipe Gasket (Style 800)
Engineered to deliver superior bolt load retention, these gaskets exhibit outstanding creep resistance for reliable sealing of piping flanges. And due to their unique design, they provide the lowest stress-to-seal for applications in the most fragile of plastic, steel and glass-lined flanges.

Key Features

  • ePTFE with a multi-directionally orientated fibrous structure
  • Made from 100% virgin PTFE
  • Seals at lowest bolt load
  • Highly conformable
  • Chemically inert and
    temperature resistant
  • High dimensional stability
    and creep resistance
  • High blow-out resistance

Key Benefits

  • Seals all types of standard flanges
  • Standardisation: only one type
    of gasket in the piping system
  • No misuse of a wrong gasket
  • Seals highly permeable and aggressive fluids
  • Seals damaged or misaligned flanges
  • Seldom needs retorquing
  • Superior sealing reliability
    and long gasket life
