Gasket Material (for user’s flange)
BCF, BSF: PTFE-sheathed non-asbestos
BCC, BSC: Chloroprene rubber
Recommended Gaskets Between Flowtubes And
Unser’s Flanges:
Gaskets Type
Use compressed non-asbestos fiber gaskets,
PTFE-sheathed non-asbestos gaskets or gaskets
which have equivalent elasticity.
For optional codes GA, GC, and GD, use rubber gas-
kets or others which have equivalent elasticity.
Gaskets Size
Be sure to choose a gasket with an inner and outer
diameter that does not protrude inside the piping
(refer to item of Inner Diameter Of Grounding Ring,
Outer Diameter For Effective Sealing).
If the inner diameter of the gasket is too large, or
outer diameter of the gasket is too small, fluid leak-
age may result.
