Conbraco D-1600-00 Gasket
The Conbraco D-1600-00 is a precision-engineered 5/8" EPDM gasket designed specifically for industrial sight glass assemblies and water gauge applications. Engineered for high-temperature resistance and chemical stability, this EPDM sight glass seal ensures a leak-proof termination between the glass tube and the valve body. In steam and hydronic systems, material integrity is critical; the Conbraco 5/8 inch gasket offers superior ozone and weather resistance compared to standard neoprene alternatives. This replacement component is essential for maintaining pressure vessel integrity and preventing hazardous steam leaks in high-pressure environments. When installing the D-1600-00 gasket, technicians should ensure the glass O.D. and the gauge nut internal dimensions are clear of debris to prevent premature failure. This industrial gauge glass gasket is the standard for contractors servicing Apollo and Conbraco water gauges, providing a reliable compression seal that withstands the rigors of commercial boiler operations and fluid monitoring systems.
Key Benefits for Technicians- Durable EPDM Construction: Offers excellent resistance to heat, steam, and aging for extended service intervals.
- Precise 5/8" Fitment: Designed for standard 5/8 inch diameter sight glasses to ensure uniform compression.
- Chemical Compatibility: Highly effective in applications involving water, steam, and various diluted acids or alkalis.
- Leak Prevention: Maintains a tight seal under fluctuating system pressures to prevent boiler room maintenance issues.
Is the Conbraco D-1600-00 compatible with high-pressure steam?
Yes, the EPDM material is specifically selected for its ability to handle saturated steam and high-temperature water found in commercial gauge applications.
What is the inner diameter of this gasket?
The D-1600-00 is sized for a 5/8" O.D. gauge glass tube, providing the necessary clearance for a secure, seated fit.
Can I use this gasket in petroleum-based systems?
No, EPDM is not recommended for use with petroleum-based fluids. For oil or hydrocarbon applications, a different synthetic elastomer is required.
