Asahi/America offers EPDM gaskets from 1/2 to 12 in.; PTFE-bonded EPDM gaskets in sizes from 1/2 to 12 in.; and PVDF-bonded EPDM gaskets from 1/2 to 10 in. AV low torque gaskets provide a bubble tight seal for flanged valve and piping connections. They feature a small bolt torque requirement for ease of installation and for accommodating a variety of thermoplastic valves, piping and fittings. All styles include two molded concentric sealing rings for confident sealing abilities. The sulfur-cured rubber is made to fit with flat faced flanges and is available with either a PVDF or PTFE laminated sealing surface for aggressive chemical or high purity installations.
