The Type F Insulation Gasket Kit is a specialized sealing and isolation solution designed for 6-inch, 300LB raised face (RF) flanges. Engineered to meet the demanding requirements of high-corrosion and high-temperature service environments, this kit provides superior protection and performance in critical applications such as chemical processing, oil and gas pipelines, marine systems, and power generation facilities.
At the core of the kit is a Garlock Gylon 3500 retainer, a premium PTFE-based material known for its exceptional chemical resistance, thermal stability, and long-term reliability. This advanced gasket material offers a tight and durable seal even under extreme temperatures and aggressive media, making it ideal for applications where conventional gasket materials may fail. Its compressibility and recovery properties ensure consistent sealing performance, minimizing the risk of leaks and system failures.
The Type F design is tailored specifically for raised face flanges, with a full-faced gasket that covers the entire sealing surface. This helps ensure optimal sealing and prevents damage or short-circuiting caused by electrical continuity through flange contact. To complete the insulation system, the kit includes G11 sleeves and washers, made from a high-temperature epoxy glass laminate that offers outstanding electrical insulation and mechanical strength. These components prevent electrical flow between bolts and flanges, protecting the system from galvanic corrosion and stray current damage.
Additionally, the inclusion of ZPS (Zinc-Plated Steel) washers adds mechanical robustness and corrosion resistance, ensuring that proper bolt load is maintained during installation and throughout operation. The combination of non-metallic and metallic elements in the kit ensures both electrical insulation and reliable mechanical performance.
In summary, the Type F Insulation Gasket Kit is a comprehensive, high-integrity solution for demanding industrial applications requiring high corrosion resistance, thermal stability, and complete flange isolation. Its high-performance materials and complete accessory set make it a trusted choice for maintaining system integrity and minimizing downtime in harsh operational environments.
