Armstrong International A22182-1 Body Gasket

The Armstrong International A22182-1 Body Gasket is a critical sealing component engineered for high-pressure inverted bucket steam traps. Specifically designed for the Armstrong 813, 883, 973, and 983 series, as well as the TVS-813 Trap Valve Station, this replacement steam trap gasket ensures a leak-proof seal between the trap body and the cap. In high-demand steam systems where condensate drainage must remain uninterrupted, using an OEM Armstrong A22182-1 part is essential to maintain vessel design integrity. This compressed non-asbestos gasket is built to withstand rigorous industrial steam applications, providing precise fitment that eliminates the risk of bypass or external leakage. For technicians performing routine maintenance or a full steam trap repair, this gasket simplifies the reassembly process by conforming to surface irregularities on the cast iron housing, ensuring the 800 series or 900 series unit returns to peak operating efficiency immediately.
