Advantages
Fully encased lubricant
- No mess
- No extra lubricant cost
- A clean, debris-free joint
- Gaskets shipped in corrugated boxes
Diameter printed directly on gasket
- Eliminates installation errors
- Store different sizes in same container
Stretch allowance eliminates need to equalize gasket pressure
- No more hand-running a tool under gasket
Lowest installed cost
- Faster installation
- No lubricant cost
- Fewer installation errors
- Ease of installation eliminates broken pipe bells
Installation Is as Easy as 1-2-3
- Position gasket evenly against the pipe stop around the circumference of the pipe spigot with
the TecSeal tube facing the spigot end. Stretch allowance eliminates the need to equalize
pressure around the spigot.
- Make sure gasket is placed firmly against the offset all the way around the spigot.
- Assemble spigot and bell. No external lubricant is required.
