<p>The gasket assembly (1) is designed to fit on the end (2) of a rigid tube inserted into an aperture (4) in a component (3). The gasket assembly consists of a ring (5) of an elastomer material, e.g. butyl rubber or other material with a high level of elasticity. There is also an adjoining rigid cylindrical sleeve (6), e.g. of aluminium, steel, galvanised steel or plastic. The sleeve lies coaxially with the ring and has an inner surface which engages by light friction with the outer surface of the pipe tip. Alternatively, the gasket can have two elastomer rings and/or two rigid sleeves. The elastomer rings can be toroid in shape or have any other type of cross-section.</p> |
