3. Check for damage before installing seals

The 40mm rubber gasket is a versatile sealing solution that is commonly used in plumbing systems, automotive engines, hydraulic systems, and other machinery where a tight seal is required. Made from high-quality rubber materials, these gaskets are designed to withstand high temperatures, pressure, and chemicals, making them suitable for a wide range of applications.

Because of the higher temperature resistance of FKM, this material is also chosen for applications where higher speeds play a role, which raise the temperature at the sealing lip considerably. Usually, using FKM will result in a longer life than using NBR. This compensates the higher price of FKM compared to NBR, as an FKM does not have to be replaced as frequently. The low temperature resistance of standard FKM is limited to -15 ˚C.
