Illinois 2802021 Cover Gasket

When you are maintaining radiator traps or steam systems, the Illinois 2802021 Cover Gasket is the professional standard for ensuring a pressure-tight seal. Specifically engineered for Illinois 1G and 6G series traps, this silicone cover gasket provides critical leak prevention in high-temperature environments. Rated for temperatures up to 121?C (250?F), the high-performance silicone material maintains its structural integrity and elasticity under thermal cycling, preventing the steam bypass and energy loss often seen with degraded seals. With a 6.4mm thickness and precise dimensions of 35mm OD and 23mm ID, this replacement gasket ensures a perfect fit on Series G, GH, and HG steam traps, effectively restoring the vacuum and thermal efficiency of the original equipment without the risk of rapid hardening or bypass blowing.

Key Benefits:

• Optimized Compatibility: Designed as a direct OEM replacement part for all Illinois 1G and 6G radiator traps.
• Thermal Resistance: Durable silicone construction withstands constant exposure to 121?C steam without losing sealing properties.
• Precision Engineering: The 6.4mm thickness provides the necessary compression for a zero-leak seal on 1-gallon and 6-gallon trap covers.
• Energy Efficiency: Prevents refrigerant leaks and steam loss, maintaining system pressure and reducing operational costs.

Common Questions:

Which steam trap models are compatible with the 2802021 gasket?
