A pipe joint gasket with a closed end face. An annular anchoring projection extends outwardly from the external surface of the gasket and is embedded within a structure with which the gasket is used. The gasket also includes a sealing projection for engaging a pipe to provide a compressive, fluid tight seal between the pipe and the gasket. In applications in which the gasket is used for a pipe joint, the closed end face of the gasket may be slit or removed to allow a pipe to pass through the gasket. Alternatively, in applications in which the gasket is not used for a pipe joint, the end face remains intact, and has a thickness sufficient to withstand internal pressures within the structure and external pressures from without the structure.
