DRAIN SCREW GASKET

$0.68

Description
  • Purpose: The primary function of a drain screw gasket is to create a reliable and leak-proof seal between the drain screw and its mating surface, preventing the leakage of fluids, such as oil or coolant, from the system.
  • Material Composition: Drain screw gaskets are commonly made from durable materials such as rubber, silicone, or fiber-reinforced materials. These materials are chosen for their ability to withstand the fluid pressures and temperatures encountered in the system.
  • Design: Drain screw gaskets are typically circular or ring-shaped, with a central hole to accommodate the drain screw. They may feature a flat or beveled surface to ensure proper sealing against the mating surface.
  • Installation: During assembly or maintenance, the drain screw gasket is placed between the drain screw and the mating surface. Proper torqueing of the drain screw ensures even compression of the gasket for an effective seal.
  • Maintenance: Regular inspection of drain screw gaskets is important to check for signs of wear, damage, or deterioration. Worn or damaged gaskets should be promptly replaced to prevent leaks and maintain the integrity of the system.
