Tunstall G-26-HP Body Gasket

The Tunstall G-26-HP Body Gasket is a critical sealing component engineered for high-pressure steam trap maintenance. Designed specifically for 3/4 inch and 1 inch 125# traps, this non-asbestos gasket ensures a airtight, leak-proof seal between the trap body and cover, preventing energy loss and maintaining system pressure. Field technicians regularly utilize the G-26-HP when servicing float and thermostatic (F&T) steam traps subjected to demanding saturated steam conditions up to 125 PSI.

Constructed from high-grade, temperature-resistant materials, this replacement steam trap gasket is compatible with a wide range of industry-standard equipment, including Tunstall, Barnes & Jones, and Sarco models. Proper installation of a fresh Tunstall body gasket is essential during routine inspections to avoid bypass leakage and "blown" joints that can lead to hazardous water hammer or significant increases in fuel consumption. This heavy-duty component provides the structural integrity required to withstand the thermal cycling inherent in commercial and industrial steam heating systems.

• Precision Fit: Optimized for 3/4" and 1" F&T 125 PSI traps to guarantee zero-clearance sealing.
• High Pressure Resilience: Engineered to maintain seal integrity in systems operating at 125# ratings.
• Industrial Grade Material: Non-asbestos composition designed for durability and high-temperature saturated steam service.
• Cross-Brand Compatibility: Serves as a direct replacement for various OEM steam trap gaskets used by major manufacturers.
• Enhanced Efficiency: Eliminates external steam leaks, directly reducing departmental energy costs and boiler load.

Is the Tunstall G-26-HP compatible with vacuum systems?
Yes, this gasket is suitable for steam systems ranging from 25" Hg vacuum up to a maximum differential pressure of 125 PSI.

When should a steam trap body gasket be replaced?
Industry best practices dictate that the body gasket should be replaced every time the trap cover is removed for internal inspection, cleaning, or seat replacement to prevent future leaks.

Will this gasket fit 1-1/4" steam traps?
No, the G-26-HP is specifically sized for 3/4" and 1" 125# trap bodies. Larger traps require a different SKU to ensure a proper seat.
