Value Collection 3194803 Flange Gasket 8 Inch Pipe

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 3194803 is a full-face flange gasket engineered for use with 8-inch nominal pipe size (NPS) piping systems. Constructed from carbon steel and stainless steel, this gasket provides a reliable seal between mating flanges in demanding industrial and mechanical piping applications. It measures 9-3/16 inches inside diameter and 11 inches outside diameter, matching standard 8-inch flange bolt patterns. The dual-material construction supports a wide service temperature range, from -440 degrees F up to 850 degrees F, making it suitable for both cryogenic and high-temperature service lines. Plumbers, pipefitters, and mechanical contractors install this type of gasket during flange assembly or flange maintenance work.

This flange gasket is suited for use in industrial process piping, commercial plumbing, and mechanical systems where 8-inch flanged connections are specified. It is appropriate for installations requiring a compressed gasket seal between raised-face or flat-face flanges. The broad temperature rating extends its use to steam lines, chilled water systems, and select process fluid applications. Each unit is sold individually, making it straightforward to source for single-joint repairs or new construction alike.

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation gasket for standard 8-inch nominal pipe size flanged connections in industrial and commercial mechanical piping systems.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by licensed plumbers or pipefitters in accordance with applicable piping codes such as ASME B16.21 for pipe flanges and flange fittings. Depressurize and isolate the piping section completely before removing existing flange hardware or gaskets. Inspect flange faces for pitting or corrosion before seating the new gasket. Tighten flange bolts in a cross pattern to ensure even compression and a leak-free seal.
