<p>A gasket installed on the inner peripheral surface of an opening of a housing such as a cylinder head cover and sealing the gap between the housing and an insertion member such as a plug tube inserted in the opening. The gasket has good installability, so that, even if the inner diameter of the opening is not made to high precision, an outer periphery installation section of the gasket is prevented from being nipped in fitting of the gasket into the housing, or the gasket can be reliably fitted into the housing. To achieve the above, the outer diameter of the outer periphery installation section is set equal to or less than the inner diameter of the opening, and a tightening allowance setting means and a radial direction positioning means are provided on an outer peripheral section of the outer periphery installation section of the gasket. The tightening allowance setting means sets a tightening allowance of the gasket relative to the inner peripheral surface of the opening, and the radial direction positioning means performs radial positioning of the gasket relative to the inner peripheral surface of the opening. The tightening allowance setting means is inclined in the axially opposite direction to the direction of fitting of the gasket into the housing and has a lip shape whose outer diameter in a free state is set greater than the inner diameter of the opening.</p> |
