Matco-norca gna6 Full Face Ring Gasket 6 Inches

Product Description

The MATCO-NORCA gna6 is a 6-inch full face non-asbestos ring gasket designed for flanged piping connections in commercial and industrial plumbing systems. Constructed from aramid and other synthetic fibers bonded with nitrile rubber, this gasket provides a reliable, fiber-reinforced seal without the health and disposal concerns associated with asbestos-based materials. It is well suited for applications involving water, air, and a range of industrial gases and fluids, and is also suitable for steam service depending on operating conditions. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters are the primary installers for this type of component.

This gasket is a common choice for flanged connections in mechanical rooms, process piping, and industrial utility systems. The full face design covers the entire flange face, distributing bolt load evenly and reducing the risk of flange distortion. It is appropriate for both residential and light commercial plumbing as well as heavier industrial fluid-handling systems where non-asbestos fiber gaskets are specified.

Key Features

• Aramid and synthetic fiber construction bonded with nitrile rubber for durable sealing performance
• Non-asbestos material meets modern health and environmental standards for gasket applications
• Full face design distributes clamping load evenly across the entire flange face
• Compatible with water, air, industrial gases and fluids, and steam service where conditions allow
• 6-inch nominal size fits standard 6-inch flanged pipe connections

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement for standard 6-inch full face flanged pipe connections in plumbing and industrial piping systems.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter in accordance with applicable plumbing codes such as the IPC. Shut off and depressurize the system fully before removing the existing gasket or opening any flanged joint. Inspect flange faces for damage or corrosion before seating the new gasket. Do not reuse a compressed gasket, and follow the flange bolt torque pattern specified by the flange manufacturer for even seating.
