Value Collection 3194798 Flange Gasket 2-1/2 Inch Pipe

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 3194798 is a flange gasket designed for sealing pipe flange connections in plumbing, mechanical, and industrial piping systems. Sized for 2-1/2 inch nominal pipe, it features a 3-1/4 inch inside diameter and a 4-7/8 inch outside diameter. The gasket is constructed from carbon steel and stainless steel, giving it broad chemical and thermal resistance. It handles temperatures from -440 degrees F up to 850 degrees F, making it suitable for high-temperature steam lines, hot water systems, and process piping applications. Plumbers, pipefitters, and mechanical contractors install this type of gasket as part of flanged joint assemblies in both new construction and maintenance work.

This flange gasket is appropriate for residential and commercial piping systems where flanged connections require a reliable face seal. It fits 2-1/2 inch nominal pipe flanges and is commonly used in HVAC hydronic systems, steam distribution, industrial process lines, and general mechanical piping. Its wide temperature range makes it a practical choice for both hot and cold service lines. No specific OEM model compatibility is provided in the product data; see the Technical Specifications below for dimensional confirmation before installation.

Key Features

• Nominal pipe size: 2-1/2 inches for direct flanged joint fitment

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation flange gasket for 2-1/2 inch nominal pipe flanged connections in standard mechanical and plumbing piping systems.

Installation Notes

Flange gaskets of this type are installed by licensed plumbers, pipefitters, or mechanical contractors working on flanged joint assemblies. Always depressurize, drain, and isolate the line before removing or installing a flange gasket. Follow applicable codes including ASME B31.1 or B31.9 for piping systems and torque fasteners to the flange bolt specification for the class rating of the flanges being joined. Inspect both flange faces for nicks, pitting, or corrosion before seating the gasket.
