Larsen Supply Co., Inc. 02-1048E Rubber Sheet Gasket

Product Description

The LARSEN SUPPLY CO., INC. 02-1048E is a flat rubber sheet cut to a 6-inch square at 1/16-inch thickness, designed for field-fabricating gaskets and packing material in plumbing and mechanical applications. The sheet provides a compressible, conformable sealing surface that technicians can cut to match flanges, unions, valve seats, and other mating surfaces. Sold in a package of 10 sheets, it gives service technicians a ready supply of raw sealing stock for common repair and maintenance work. Each piece weighs approximately 1.33 pounds per package, making it lightweight and easy to store on a service vehicle.

This rubber sheet stock is used wherever a field-cut gasket or packing is needed in residential and light commercial plumbing, HVAC, and general mechanical service work. Typical applications include cutting replacement flange gaskets, stuffing box packing, valve body seals, and similar soft-seat sealing tasks. The 6-inch square format gives enough material to cut multiple smaller gaskets from a single piece, reducing waste on common repair calls.

Key Features

• 1/16-inch thickness suits standard gasket and packing fabrication requirements
• 6-inch square format allows multiple gaskets to be cut from one sheet
• Flexible rubber construction conforms to mating surfaces for a reliable seal
• Sold in a package of 10 sheets for job-site and van-stock supply
• Suitable for gasket and packing applications in plumbing and mechanical systems

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose rubber sheet for field-fabricated gaskets and packings in plumbing and mechanical repair applications where a 1/16-inch-thick compressible rubber material is required.

Installation Notes

Gasket and packing fabrication from sheet stock is typically performed by licensed plumbers and mechanical technicians. Shut off and depressurize the system before removing any existing gaskets or packing. Use a sharp utility knife, gasket punch set, or hole saw to cut the sheet to the required profile, ensuring clean edges for proper sealing. Follow applicable IPC or local plumbing code requirements for material compatibility with the specific fluid or gas being sealed.
