Universal fibre rubber gasket - for threaded joints - 2"; 56x44x1,8mm IVAR.FASIT 202 W

Product detailed description

This gasket is commonly used in industrial and commercial installations where threaded pipe connections require a reliable seal under high pressure. It is frequently found in heating systems, water supply lines and food processing facilities. The gasket ensures a tight connection between threaded components, preventing leaks and maintaining system integrity. It is particularly suitable for environments where high pressure and elevated temperatures are present, such as in boiler systems, hot water distribution and industrial process lines.

When installing this gasket, the installer must ensure that the mating surfaces are clean and free from debris. The gasket is placed between the male and female threads of the joint and compressed during tightening. The material adapts to the surface irregularities, forming a durable seal. It is important to follow tightening procedures to avoid over-torquing, which can damage the gasket or the connected components.

Technical parameters

Nominal pressure	PN 16
Code	1727GES20
Brand	IVAR

The PN 16 rating indicates that the gasket is suitable for systems operating at a nominal pressure of 16 bar. This is a key factor in selecting the correct gasket for a given application, ensuring compatibility with the system's pressure requirements. The maximum operating temperature of +180°C means the gasket can be used in hot water and heating systems. The thickness of 1.8 mm influences the sealing performance and the ability to compensate for minor misalignments in the joint.

Installation and connection

The gasket is designed for 2 inch threaded joints. The connection sizes must be verified to ensure compatibility with the pipe and fittings being used. During installation, the gasket should be positioned correctly between the threaded components. The installer should check that the gasket is not twisted or damaged before tightening. Common installation mistakes include using an incorrect gasket size, over-tightening the joint, or failing to clean the mating surfaces properly. These errors can lead to leaks or premature gasket failure.

Compatibility and accessories

This gasket is compatible with standard threaded pipe fittings and valves used in heating, water and food industry systems. It is asbestos-free, making it suitable for applications where the use of asbestos-containing materials is restricted. No additional accessories are required for installation, but the system components must be compatible with the gasket's pressure and temperature ratings. No related products are available for this model.

Technical background for designers

The gasket functions by compressing between the male and female threads of the joint, creating a seal that prevents fluid or gas leakage. The material is a composite of fibres and rubber, which provides flexibility and resilience under pressure. The PN 16 rating ensures that the gasket can withstand the stresses of high-pressure systems. The maximum operating temperature of +180°C is critical for applications involving hot water or steam. The service life of the gasket depends on factors such as the quality of the installation, the cleanliness of the mating surfaces and the operating conditions of the system.

Service and operation

The gasket requires no regular maintenance during normal operation. However, it should be inspected periodically for signs of wear, cracking or leakage. If any damage is detected, the gasket should be replaced to maintain the integrity of the joint. No specific service intervals are provided, but the gasket should be replaced if the system experiences a failure or if the seal is compromised.
