What Are Gaskets & Seals?

Gaskets and seals are in use just about everywhere and in just about everything—your car’s engine, your home’s plumbing, the equipment in your office, large manufacturing plants, even in your child’s playground equipment. While gaskets and seals each have the same function — to prevent leakage — they have two very different applications. Our experts can help you understand what your project needs and find the perfect solution.

  • gaskets

    Gaskets

    A gasket is a flat piece of material that is placed between two static joined surfaces to seal the gap between them in order to prevent liquid or air from escaping or entering.  Gaskets are available in a variety of sizes, shapes and materials and can be customized for your specific project.

  • seals

    Seals

    Seals consist of a broader array of products, including O-rings, valve stem seals, rotary seals and mechanical seals. Both gaskets and seals form a barrier between two objects to keep them from leaking, but while gaskets allow two static, non-moving parts to be locked together, the seal joins two moving parts (whether one part moves or both).
