Value Collection 3194789 Flange Gasket 8 Inch Pipe

Product Description

The Value Collection 3194789 is a flange gasket designed for use with 8-inch nominal pipe size flanged connections. It features a 9-3/16 inch inside diameter and a 12-1/8 inch outside diameter, making it sized for standard raised-face or flat-face flanges in that pipe class. Constructed from carbon steel and stainless steel, this gasket is rated for a wide service temperature range of -440 degrees F to 850 degrees F, allowing it to perform in both cryogenic and high-temperature process piping applications. Plumbers, pipefitters, and industrial maintenance technicians install this type of gasket to create a leak-free seal at bolted flange joints.

This gasket is suited for residential and commercial piping systems where 8-inch flanged connections are used, including process lines, HVAC hydronic piping, and general industrial fluid handling. It is appropriate for installations requiring materials compatible with both carbon steel and stainless steel flange faces. The broad temperature tolerance extends its usefulness across a range of fluid types and system operating conditions where a durable, metal-compatible gasket material is required.

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation gasket for 8-inch nominal pipe size flanged connections requiring carbon steel or stainless steel compatible gasketing material.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by licensed pipefitters or plumbers working under applicable mechanical and plumbing codes such as the IPC or ASME B31.3. The piping system must be fully depressurized and drained before removing or installing any flange gasket. Inspect flange faces for scoring or corrosion before seating the new gasket, and torque flange bolts evenly in a cross pattern following the applicable flange standard for the pipe class in use. Do not reuse a compressed gasket once a joint has been broken.
